“The idea of going back to school to pursue a master’s degree can be daunting, but for me, pursuing an MBA while working full-time did not feel like two different tasks, rather, a continuous flow of education and real-world experiences. I was able to share examples from my work in class, apply class concepts to my work, all while learning from my peers who come from diverse backgrounds.”
