Why did you select Rice Business for your MBA?
Was working full time as a rotational expat and needed something that had flexibility to accommodate.
How has Rice helped you with your career?
Helped me transition from engineering to what I am doing now. My first step was in corporate development as an MBA rotational associate which the Rice MBA facilitated.
What is the most important advice you’d like to share with prospective and current students?
Connect, Connect, Connect. The most valuable resource in association with the up-skilling itself is the network of people you can plug into on the Rice ecosystem.
What have you valued most in the Rice Black student and / or alumni network?
Nothing specific to being a Black student, but certainly as a Rice alumni, you get the benefit of the prestige of the name, and as a smaller program its very intimate.
Anything else you’d like to share?
Do not forget to enjoy the MBA experience. You won't get another chance!
