1. What excites you most about your work?
What excites me most about my current work is being able to utilize strategies and techniques enhanced by my MBA. These lessons learned are invaluable and worth the investment.
2. What advice would you give to current students or other alumni with similar career goals?
The best advice to current students, alumni, and all, is to be purposeful in all that you do. I remember developing a personal brand statement in one of my courses. This statement of “Vision. Discipline. Evolution.” has become the ways and means that I think and manage the business. Moreover, it is now the expectation that others have of me. #GoBlue
