Why did you decide to pursue your bachelor's degree with P.A.C.E.?
I could not stop thinking about unfinished business. In addition, I really wanted to pursue more opportunities that required a degree in addition to experience.
Describe your P.A.C.E. experience.
P.A.C.E was the best educational experience I have ever had. I began my bachelor’s degree following high school within a “typical” college setting. I also attended an online college. I found that P.A.C.E not only fit my demanding lifestyle, but it redirected my entire thought process to obtaining my degree. It became more about strengthening me and my skills to become a better individual and no longer just about obtaining a higher paying job. There were so many interactive classes that allowed us to take the curriculum and apply it to our everyday business lives.
What would you tell a prospective student considering enrollment in P.A.C.E.?
I would ask them "What are you waiting for?"
Have you pursued a graduate degree since completing P.A.C.E.?
No, however, I would like to do this in the near future.
What personal outcomes did you achieve by completing P.A.C.E.?
I value both my personal and professional teams more. I put more effort into positive change and creating innovative solutions to problems.
Did anything interesting happen to you during your time in P.A.C.E.?
Yes. I gave birth to my son Cole in September 2007, which was two months before the conclusion of classes.
