Risk Management & Insurance MBA Advisory Board

“Staying connected to current students has been one of the most rewarding parts of being an alumna. Whether it’s through mentoring, guest speaking, or simply making time for coffee chats, I see it as a way to give back to a program that gave so much to me. The students are thoughtful, driven, and eager to learn—and their questions often challenge me to reflect and grow as well. I always leave these interactions energized and inspired; overall, [I’m] excited to see where they’re headed and grateful to play even a small part in helping them get there.”

“With an RMI program that consistently ranks in the top two in the country, I knew the only place I wanted to apply for my MBA was the Wisconsin School of Business. Taking two years off from work initially seemed intimidating; however, doing so provided me with opportunities to lead real-world consulting projects, familiarize myself with the rapidly evolving Insurtech space, and expand my network with some of the most notable professionals in the industry. The faculty and students make the program worthwhile, and I started seeing the benefits of having a WSB education immediately in my first post-MBA position.”

“Before the semester officially began, team RMI hit the ground running with an alumni event involving six risk professionals who shared their collective wisdom with first- and second-year students alike. The event featured both recent graduates and seasoned professionals who discussed topics ranging from discovering and navigating career paths to standing out professionally by exhibiting perseverance and ‘grit.’”
