After graduating from the M.S. program in Research Psychology and Data Analytics at Azusa Pacific University, I was able to obtain a job working as an adjunct professor for APU. However, this would not have been possible if it weren’t for the rapport I built with my professors in the program; each professor I had the opportunity to study under or work with helped build my self-confidence and encouraged me in the process of finishing my studies and applying for the position. As a TA for a few professors, I learned firsthand what it took to connect with students and believe in them as my professors did in me. Had it not been for the values and knowledge I gained for the M.S. program, I would not be where I am today.
