As a working mother myself, I can’t help but think about some of the amazing moms who manage to balance a demanding career and challenging coursework while raising a family. Seeking out an MBA was initially driven by my desire to accelerate my career, through gaining access to strategic frameworks and developing new intuition about how to solve business challenges around me. I felt that I had reached a point in my career that, to get to that next group of job opportunities, required an advanced degree.

I was drawn to Westford University College because of its academic rigour, network potential, and course offerings. As a working mother, I preferred the ability to adjust school based on my professional and personal needs, should any arise, and Westford afforded that to me with its personalized schedule.

I am glad to have spent time learning alongside some exceptionally talented professionals from a diverse set of industries and backgrounds. This provided a lot of fresh perspectives and interactions with people with unusual ways of thinking and approaches to problem-solving. I formed personal and professional relationships that I value highly and that will serve me well in the years to come

The program’s administrators were always very responsive to my needs, and the faculty brought a lot of experience from both industry and academia, giving them the ability to ground the lessons and concepts in real-world examples of practical application. They had high standards for performance, especially in professional writing, and I was glad to be challenged in this regard as this skill has become increasingly important as I have advanced in my career.”

The time management skills you already have as a working mom put you ahead of the pack. You already know how to juggle and get things done. So do not be afraid of applying. You can do this.
