3. Why did you choose to join University of Phoenix?

I’ve always been fascinated by education and its power to inspire us and alter the course of our lives. We get to be a part of that magical experience every day at University of Phoenix. We work with students from every different background imaginable, and it’s hard to capture what an amazing feeling that is. But what really drew me here more than anything else was the fact that innovation and trailblazing has always been central to everything we do. The University has been at the forefront of so many trends and it has done so, in large part, to make higher education more accessible to historically underserved communities. This combination really appealed to me. From my first days here, I could tell I was joining an organization that’s truly special.
