Many people might need a break from studying after all that - not Shari-Anne! She then went on to become a Qualified Arbitrator and recently finished coursework towards becoming a Qualified Mediator. We talk about the joys of grad school, running a business, competing with your kids for the best grades and creative ways to fund your education as an adult. 

We talk about...

• choosing the right time to go back to school, while never losing sight of the goal 
• choosing the masters of public administration at Dalhousie University and how it allowed Shari-Anne to leverage her work experience as part of her entrance to the program
• being a role model for her kids and supporting each other in their respective learning
• how scaling back work to focus on school led to the launch of Sage Analytics and the challenges and joys of running your own business
• how to creatively fund your education through a combination of savings, loans, scholarships, bursaries and contract work
• how a masters opened the door to additional credentials
• why Shari-Anne encourages people to consider a career in public service
