MBA 2020, USA<\/p>\n
\n“You miss 100 shots you don’t take.” Wayne Gretzky<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n
I started my professional journey as a Personal Wealth Manager. After a year, I transitioned into the Internet\/Tech Sales industry working my way up to mid-market Account Executive.<\/p>\n
I am extremely interested in Finance, Leadership, Management, and the Operations side of businesses. My career goals are to either be in business for myself (Finance or Real-Estate) or be a senior leader in an innovative company.<\/p>\n
Outside of work, I enjoy playing basketball, Ultimate Frisbee, and doing my best to stay in shape. Exploring new restaurants and pubs is also a big hobby of mine, I love to eat and sample the latest beer or Scotch!<\/p>\n

What attracted you to the Kent MBA programme and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n
After researching the program, the KBS and the prestige that comes with a degree from here, I couldn\u2019t pass up the opportunity to try and study in this programme.<\/p>\n
I had visited the University of Kent campus previously and fell in love with the campus and the town of Canterbury.<\/p>\n
As a born and raised American, the opportunity to study abroad (which I never did in undergrad) 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., 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 as 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
