The staff at SCC cares about your success. There’s no better learning environment than one where the staff supports you and celebrates your achievements.
Tell us about your time at SCC.
I met so many other great people who were also working and attending school as a means to reach their goals. It was empowering to walk the journey with others who would support me, and I could return the favor.
What made SCC the right fit for you?
I was working full-time with a toddler, so the evening classes were such a benefit to me.
What value has SCC brought to your personal life and career?
Without SCC, I would not have been able to finish my required classes on time to get the promotion I was working towards. That promotion moved me from the mailroom to getting my opportunity to be a licensed insurance agent.
Tell us about your journey after graduating from SCC. Where did you start and where are you now?
After graduation, I continued to Arizona State University and graduated with my Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. I relocated to Texas but kept going to receive my Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies from Texas State University. Since attending SCC, I have been with the same employer and am now a Risk Management Director. This year, I celebrated 22 years. I also have an LLC and provide consulting services to individuals and small businesses.
What advice would you give others embarking on their college journey? What would you say to convince someone to come to SCC?
Don’t quit! However long it takes, no matter the setbacks, keep going. The staff at SCC cares about your success. There’s no better learning environment than one where the staff supports you and celebrates your achievements.
