“[The 12-month timeline] was a big selling point for me because all my friends who have done [a master’s degree], it’s 2 to 3 years. And I don’t have 2 to 3 years to spend on another degree, while working full-time.”

“Some people might just stop with a Bachelor of Education, and they think, ‘Oh, it’s enough.’ But to be honest, [a master’s degree] really helped me in my daily practice and with my confidence. I’m living my dream. I cannot wait to wake up, basically, because I just love [my job] so much.”
