What attracted you to the Kent MBA programme and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n
After researching the programme, Kent Business School and the prestige that comes with a degree from here, I couldn\u2019t pass up the opportunity to try and study the Kent MBA.<\/p>\n
I had visited the University of Kent campus previously and fell in love with the campus, Kent Business School and the town of Canterbury.<\/p>\n
As a born and raised American, the opportunity to study abroad, which I never did in as an undergraduate, was also very appealing.<\/p>\n
What were your motivations for undertaking an MBA?<\/strong><\/p>\n
The need to continue learning and challenging myself mentally. Not being satisfied with my level of knowledge and skills in the wider scheme of business. I want to learn more and have a deeper understanding of how to manage Finances, Operations, Leadership, Management, Supply-Chain, etc \u2013 to ultimately be more than just a sales-person for my career.<\/p>\n
Aspirations<\/strong><\/p>\n
I want to have the opportunity to be a Senior Leader, to be an Entrepreneur or start my own real-estate business. I want to learn and gain as much expertise from unique minds from across the world.<\/p>\n
Advice<\/strong><\/p>\n
Never stop learning. Don\u2019t try to do everything by yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
