As a middle-aged immigrant to the United States, I was lost on where to continue with my career and stuck in an industry and role I wasn't interested in. When I consulted friends and even admission officers at colleges, they gave incorrect information stating I had to start my college education from scratch because my academic experience was in a different country, despite having a Bachelor's degree and multiple professional certifications.
Oyin heard my concerns and assured me that I didn't need to start all over. She researched colleges that fit my needs and aligned with the industry I am trying to pivot into. She supported throughout the application process for a Master's program to a school that was accommodating and convenient to my job and personal needs. She also helped me craft a compelling application essay and curriculum vitae.
Not only did I get admission to the school, with Oyin's support, I received scholarships that covered over 80% of my graduate school tuition until I graduate. I am one year into the program and I feel more confident about my career outlook. What Oyin did for me was beyond getting admission; she believed in me in the face of all odds and turned my story around.
