Prior to enrolling online with SNHU, Valerie Wagner, 41, was struggling financially, sharing that she was living in a trailer on a dirt lot and was often unable to afford basic needs like heating her home. Determined to foster connection and build a better life for herself, Valerie pursued her BA in Communication. With her degree, she obtained her very first promotion in her 24 years in the workforce, eventually transitioned into a management position, and achieved financial stability. She says she no longer has to choose between food and heat, has relocated, and dreams of the possibilities now within her reach.
