Why did you choose to return back to school to pursue your MBA?
I chose to go back to school to improve my leadership and people management skills.
I wanted to obtain a general MBA degree to develop an all-round effective business
arsenal which is beneficial in a versatile business environment.
Why did you choose KSU in your MBA pursuit?
I chose KSU in my MBA pursuit for the following reasons:
KSU MBA programs are ranked in top tiers both nationally and internationally.
The KSU MBA program is flexible to fit the schedule of a full-time working student.
The KSU MBA program provides a comprehensive leadership-focused curriculum, thus students
graduate with a top-level view and are ready to lead.
How have you balanced work, life and school during your time as a KSU MBA student?
Time management was critical to achieving balance with work, school and a personal life. Some days I only focused on one or two areas. While other times, my days incorporated all three facets of work, school and personal life. I must admit that there were times when I burned the candle at both ends…. getting up early and going to bed late. However, it was worth it to attain my goal of an MBA degree.
