Because of the Professionals program at CLU, I was able to do more with my life but at a pace that worked for my family. As a veteran, a mother and a single income household it meant a lot to me that I was able to continue working, go to school to better myself and still have time for my children. Along the way I had many professors and friends, but the one that impacted my journey the most was Dr. Kristen Roye. She showed me that I can do this work and since pushed me to go further in my education, which is why I stayed at CLU to pursue my degree further at the graduate level. Had I not had a professor like Dr. Roye and a great support system like my family and the CLU Professionals program, I would not be where I am today. For that I am forever grateful and honored to have been part of that program. Thank you, CLU Professionals Program!!
