This Houston native sits down with host Maya Pomroy ’22 to talk about how his son pushed him to get his MBA, maintaining connections with his cohort even though he did the online MBA program, and being a lifelong learner.
“Over just one year in the MBA program, I transitioned to a new role, developed a model that is being implemented for business analytics questions within ExxonMobil, trained business analysts for the other regions of the U.S., and just recently got a promotion. I have no doubt that the coursework and experiences at Rice contributed to both my accomplishments and promotion.”
"Growing up in Houston, Rice was always my dream school. What really makes our program stand out are our small class sizes and the close bonds formed while at the school."
"I chose Rice because they showed the greatest interest and ability in helping me meet my business school and post-MBA goals. With graduation in sight, I can confirm that choosing Rice was unequivocally the right decision for me."
“There’s a clear philosophy at Rice that prioritizes quality of relationships and learning,” says Christina Tamayo, who will graduate in 2022. “I’m excited by the diverse concentrations offered, particularly in energy and strategy."
