Why was online learning at Athabasca University the right fit for you?
As a Métis citizen who is also a full-time working parent of two little ones, Athabasca University was the right choice for me in many ways. Through flexible learning options, tuition savings for Métis students, and many opportunities to be involved with the online learning community, I knew it was the right choice.
ÐÇ¿ÕÓ°ÊÓhas allowed me to be present at work and in my family life while also pursuing a dream I have always had for myself, which is obtaining a higher education.
Who is your biggest cheerleader that helps you stay focused on your goals?
My children are my biggest motivators. I want to better myself for them so they can see that hard work and determination pays off and to never give up on their goals.
