What prompted your decision to get an MBA? When did you realize that this was a step you wanted – or needed – to take?

Although I have been identified as having management potential, my intention as an analyst in the James Turner Investment Banking and Capital Markets group has been to gain a solid financial background before engaging in entrepreneurial pursuits. However, I recognize that I am still missing fundamental business groundwork which can be provided with the formal instruction of an MBA. Directly after obtaining my MBA, I plan to seek an associate position in management consulting, starting as a generalist, and moving to join a firm’s marketing and sales practice focusing on branding, consumer insights and digital marketing. Through the MBA and management consulting, I would understand the best business models to employ to create a successful business which would take the form of a start up company that provides digital screenings for Broadway musicals and plays, making theater accessible across geographies and economic backgrounds.
