"I am a full time working mom of three beautiful babies with a supportive spouse. I wondered if pursuing higher education was a right decision for me given my already busy life, and now that I’m at the end I know I made the right decision! I am part of the Northside ISD and UTSA Cohort and have grown so much as an educator, leader and professional in just these past two short years. I will forever be thankful for everything I’ve learned and the relationships formed along the way!"
