Career Aspirations
One day, I aspire to lead a collaborative of public and private organizations focused on alleviating poverty at scale. I am particularly interested in orchestrating public/private partnerships that increase access to affordable housing, post-secondary education, and early learning. Eventually, I would love to explore policy advocacy work and to help “pay it forward” by building a mentoring network for up-and-coming nonprofit leaders.
Why Booth?
A Booth MBA doesn’t just teach you skills, it changes the essence of how you approach problem-solving. I plan to use my MBA to bridge the space between profit and purpose. Our civic organizations (and the communities they serve) deserve the same level of strategic and managerial excellence found in our private sector. I believe an MBA from Booth will empower me with both the foundational skills and the professional network I need to develop into a transformational, data-driven leader.
