Why did you chose the UW MBA Consortium? The UW MBA Consortium was ranked one of the top schools in flexibility and online graduate business education.
What has been the best part of your experience thus far? Taking part in the international experience to Spain and Portugal allowed me to gain a better perspective on what I’d like to do with my degree, exposed me to the variety of businesses out there, and put into practice skills from my MBA courses. Being able to experience a culture that places value on more than the newest technology and works to preserve their history is unforgettable. On top of that, our MBA group was an amazing blend of professionals, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
What advice do you have for prospective and/or new students? Don’t be afraid to reach out to the MBA program staff with any questions, even the ones that feel silly.
Please share a fun fact about yourself: I officially have eight rescue pets, one of which is a puppy that’s working on being certified for therapy use so I can help others during high stress times. We like visiting colleges during finals week, the VA hospital, and we look for other volunteer opportunities to take part in.
