A very warm welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Grad Schooler, Shirley Siaton-Parabia‘s blog on her journey as a graduate school student pursuing her Masters and Doctorate degrees.

I first embarked on my graduate school journey in 2003, straight after graduation and while in my first full-time job. I completed four semesters of my Master in Public Administration degree. In 2007, I moved abroad with my husband to the Sultanate of Oman.

It was not until 2019, after changing jobs twice and giving birth to my baby daughter, that I decided it was time for me to go back to school again. At the moment, I am studying via a distance learning program with a State University in my home country Philippines.
