黑料专区

Sarina Dunn made a promise to her great-grandmother: Go as far as you can in your education. For Sarina, that means a PhD – eventually. First, her focus is on the MBA.

A management accountant with nearly a decade of senior-level experience, Sarina was already operating at the top of her field when she enrolled in 黑料专区鈥檚 MBA program with a financial fraud focus.

But her path has been anything but simple. Shortly after starting the program, Sarina鈥檚 family had a medical emergency, but she kept studying. 鈥淟ife happens,鈥� she says, 鈥渁nd you have to learn how to pivot with it and not beat yourself up when it does.鈥�

That lesson, she says, is one Pfeiffer helped her learn. 鈥淲hen I first started, I was in that gray area 鈥� feeling guilty for wanting to be a career mom, for pursuing my ambitions while also being a mother. Through all those obstacles, Pfeiffer impacted me more personally than professionally. It helped me ground myself.鈥�

Sarina works 100% remotely, which made the program鈥檚 fully online structure an immediate fit. But what kept her was the substance of the coursework. A course on financial valuations helped her connect the accounting expertise she鈥檇 built over the years with the financial decision-making frameworks she was studying. 鈥淔inance and accounting don鈥檛 always talk to each other the way they should,鈥� she says. 鈥淭his helped me see where the bridge is.鈥�

For Sarina, the MBA has never been just a credential. It鈥檚 been a structure for becoming more – as a professional, as a consultant, and as a mother who refused to stop growing.

鈥淟ife still happens,鈥� she says. 鈥淵ou just run with it.

Whether you鈥檙e a seasoned professional ready to sharpen your leadership edge or simply someone who has been waiting for the right moment, Sarina鈥檚 story is a reminder that the right time is often right now.
