What has been the most surprising part of your Rice MBA experience?
The amazingly diverse cohort and how helpful the 2nd year MBA students have been to make networking easier.
What has been your favorite thing about your MBA experience so far?
The education. Learning again after seven years has been refreshing and even though some classes are tough to get by, they still make me learn and develop.
What do you LOVE most about Houston?
Houston is my home away from home. The food, the culture, the inclusivity; everything is wonderful — except the weather and humidity.
What is one piece of advice you would share with a prospective student?
Network! Network! Network! Start as soon as you can and keep building your network during the two years. Talk to everyone you can as you don't know who can give you the advice that best fits your scenario. And always ask for help.
