I chose to obtain an MBA as I have always wanted to continue my education. My main driver was learning and developing more tools for my toolbox to become a more rounded and knowledgeable person and employee. I also dreamed of at some point in the future creating my own business and believed this would be a great base to develop from.

What I loved about taking an MBA is the sparring and discussions where I learned from not only the professors but also the students who all had great careers and experiences they brought to the classroom. This is a distinct advantage of taking an Executive MBA, as it allows theories learned to directly be applied to my day-to-day work environment. Through discussions and analyses with other students, I received so many different perspectives that it widened my own horizons and view of the world – something that is invaluable and that I have missed since completing my MBA.
