Finishing the Digital Marketing Mastery program is one of those moments in life where I can honestly pause, breathe, and say, I did it. When I set my Mastery goal at the start of this journey, it felt like something far away, something I hoped to reach, but wasn’t sure how I would get there through everything happening in my life. Coming from the Army, becoming a stay-at-home mother, and supporting my family while caring for my mom through very serious health challenges made this path feel overwhelming at times. But it also gave me purpose. I wanted my children to see that even when life is heavy, and responsibilities are constant, you can still move toward your goals. You can still become someone you’re proud of. Through this program, I learned how strategy works, how data can guide good decisions, and how storytelling can create real connections. Public Relations was the class that touched me the most because it showed me the power of communication and how the right message can create understanding and trust. My mock interview went okay, and it reminded me that confidence is something I continue to build. I know I need more practice, more moments of speaking about myself with clarity and belief, but I also know I’m capable of growing in that area, just like I did throughout this program.
What stays with me most is the pride on my family’s faces my husband, my mom, my dad, and especially my kids. Knowing they see me pushing through challenges, finishing what I started, and growing into this new chapter means everything to me. I’m grateful for every step of this journey, and I’m excited for what comes next. This program gave me more than skills, it gave me momentum, hope, and a renewed belief in my future.
