Bio
Keisha Owens has dedicated 12 years of her career to JP Morgan Chase, bringing with her a background in Sales, Marketing, Banking, and Finance. Recognizing the value of professional development, Keisha opted to seize the opportunity offered by the Guild program. Her strategy involved initially enrolling in certificate courses to expedite her career growth within the company. Moreover, these certificate courses would also count toward her pursuit of a degree in Marketing.
However, Keisha faced the challenge of effectively managing her daily schedule to accommodate her job responsibilities, home life, her role as a mother, and her son's social activities, all while returning to school. Her twelve-year-old son remained her top priority throughout her journey.
Adding to the complexity, Keisha's family resided in California, while she had relocated to Texas for her career. The absence of her usual support system or "village" underscored the importance of her employer's support in realizing her educational ambitions.
With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic and the shift to remote work, Keisha recognized the ideal moment to embark on her educational journey. Buoyed by the support provided by her company and immediate leadership, Keisha took a courageous leap of faith. In retrospect, she regards this decision as one of the most rewarding and transformative choices of her life.
Keisha's story is a testament to her determination, adaptability, and the critical role that employer support plays in assisting individuals in achieving their educational and professional growth objectives. Her journey serves as an inspiration to those who aspire to balance work, education, and family while pursuing their dreams.
