“My Degree Is Helping Me Build a Stronger Career Foundation in Business and Finance,” Says Rachel G.

Rachel G. is currently pursuing her Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration at University of the People, driven by a strong desire to create opportunities not only for herself but also for others. With an entrepreneurial mindset and a clear vision for her future, she is building a path that blends education, business, and professional growth.

Rachel’s journey is shaped by her ambition to turn ideas into reality. Recently, she launched her own business while continuing to work in the real estate field—an experience that has challenged her to balance multiple responsibilities while staying focused on her long-term goals.

“For me, entrepreneurship is not just about building a company; it is about creating impact and opening doors. I have always been driven by the desire to create opportunities for myself and others,” she shares.

When it came to choosing a university, Rachel was drawn to UoPeople because of its mission to make higher education accessible to everyone.

“To me, education is a right, not a privilege, and it should never be limited by financial barriers,” Rachel says. “UoPeople truly reflects that belief.”

The university’s flexible, online learning model has been essential in helping Rachel manage her busy schedule. Between running her business, working in real estate, and maintaining personal responsibilities, she values the ability to study at times that fit her day.

“My favorite thing about studying at UoPeople is the flexibility,” she explains. “I can study on my own time while still managing work and family responsibilities.”

Another aspect Rachel appreciates is the global community of students. Engaging with classmates from around the world has broadened her perspective and provided her with new ideas and motivation.

“Connecting with people from different countries gives me fresh insights and inspires me to keep pushing forward,” she says.

Through her studies, Rachel is gaining practical skills that directly support her entrepreneurial goals. Courses in leadership, communication, and management are helping her strengthen her business foundation and prepare for future opportunities.

“My degree will help me build a stronger foundation for my career and open new opportunities in business and finance,” she says.

As she continues to grow her business and advance in her studies, Rachel remains focused on her vision: to create meaningful opportunities and make a lasting impact. With determination, discipline, and a commitment to learning, she is shaping a future that reflects both her ambitions and her values. As a university, we take great pride in supporting learners like Rachel and wish her every success in her journey ahead.
