From Working Parents to MBA Graduates: Sarah and Fahad's Story of Determination and Teamwork

Sarah Krebs proves that earning a master’s degree as a working parent is possible with determination, teamwork, and the right support system. After putting her educational goals on hold for more than 20 years, Krebs and her husband decided to return to school together while both working full-time and raising three young children. Through careful time management, mutual encouragement, and the flexibility and support they found at Cleary University, both successfully completed their MBA programs. Graduating with honors, Krebs says the experience not only strengthened her future opportunities, but also showed her family that it’s never too late to pursue your goals.
