I had worked 20 years in two of the top insurance companies in the city but had reached a glass ceiling where I could no longer advance without a degree. It was time to enroll in school. TN Reconnect allowed me to enroll in college tuition-free, and even with our income reduced, school was not a hardship on our family budget.
Chattanooga State has given me wings to become who I always wanted to be!
