Post-MBA career goal:
My goal after the EMBA is to build broad business acumen so I can bridge my technology and cybersecurity experience with strategic decision-making, contributing to business growth and organizational impact.

Why choose Wisconsin MBA?
I chose the Wisconsin EMBA for its in-depth learning in leadership, running and growing a business, and driving business transformation. Participants network across cohorts, including professional and full-time MBA students, gaining diverse perspectives. Its hybrid structure is sustainable and efficient, balancing monthly in-person sessions with full-time work for practical application and collaboration. What sets Wisconsin apart is that alumni can take two optional additional courses as new classes are developed, including topics like AI, and participate in global business travel with that year’s cohort, extending learning and networking well beyond the program. Wisconsin’s model supports long-term growth and connections past graduation.

Advice:
Even if you’re not in a senior leadership position, apply! I’m the youngest in my cohort with just 10 years of experience, and being accepted has put me on a fast learning track to understand how strategic executive management works, while gaining invaluable perspectives from senior leaders across diverse industries and backgrounds.

Fun fact:
I’m an inline skater!
