"Unity doesn't just deliver education; it delivers belief. The flexibility is life-changing, but the support and personal connection are what make it special. The courses inspire you, the faculty uplift you, and the structure lets real-life students actually succeed. Unity meets you where you are, then walks with you to where you're headed."
Before starting at Unity, Brittany was at a major turning point in her life. She had left a difficult long-term relationship and was now a single mom to five boys. Those early months were all about rebuilding, finding her footing, healing, and imagining a future for herself and her children. She always knew she wanted more, but she wasn’t sure how to get there. Enrolling in school felt like reclaiming her life.
Brittany chose Unity because it fit both her values and her reality. “As a full-time mom with a busy household, flexibility isn’t a luxury—it’s survival. Unity gave me the chance to pursue my education without sacrificing being present for my children. On top of that, Unity’s focus on environmental learning spoke to my heart. I wanted a school that believed in growth, resilience, and making an impact,” she shared. From the very start, she says she felt supported and understood.
Today, Brittany is working toward her bachelor’s degree in Wildlife Conservation. Nature has always been her reset button, her place for peace and perspective. Even in the hardest moments, time outdoors reminded her that life keeps growing, adapting, and pushing forward. She wanted to protect that resilience and show her children how to turn what they care about into something real.
Her kids motivate her every day. They watched her struggle and are now watching her rise. Every late-night study session is more than homework; it is a lesson in perseverance. You can start over. You can grow. You can choose your future.
Returning to school after a long break was intimidating at first. For years, college felt out of reach. Unity changed that. She felt seen, capable, and supported every step of the way. That encouragement helped her rewrite her story and believe in the path ahead.
Brittany hopes to work in wildlife conservation and community education. She wants to protect wildlife, support healthy habitats, and help families and children connect with nature, especially those facing challenges like her own. She also dreams of outreach and advocacy programs that make environmental learning more accessible.
What Brittany values most about Unity is the support she found there. Flexibility made her education possible. Encouragement kept her moving forward. She never felt alone. Unity met her where she was and helped her reach for where she wanted to go.
Above all, Brittany feels grateful. She is grateful for a second chance, for a school that welcomed her as she was, and for the opportunity to show her children that the climb is worth it. If she could rise from where she started to where she is today, she believes anyone can, and Unity has been an essential part of that journey.
