My moment was when I was able—because of my undergraduate degree—to apply for a job as a trainer and, under rigorous requirements, get that job. I am now recognized and officially credentialed by the United States of America as a senior technical trainer. That could not have happened without it.

I really felt confident in my career and financial security when I realized there was more to instructional technology than teachers doing PowerPoint. The way I taught and related to students changed for the better.
