Biography

"Two of the greatest benefits of the summer experience were the opportunity to quickly expand my network and smoothly transition from a business environment to an academic one. Being the only students in the building and on campus allows you to fully immerse in the One-Year class and quickly develop friendships that will last a lifetime. In only a few short weeks, your personal network expands the equivalent of years of networking. I personally appreciated the quick pace of the summer semester as well because it allowed me to smoothly transition from the fast pace of the business world. I prepared myself to dedicate all of my time to school but because of the requirements of my previous job, I was pleasantly surprised by my ability to effectively manage my time and assignments."
