When I graduated from Duke University in 2011, I had a vague notion that I might want to pursue an MBA someday, but I couldn’t articulate why - it just seemed like something everyone did.  Five years later, I was managing the team of engineers that handles Stryker Instruments’ most urgent post-market quality issues.  Each time I attended a meeting with key business leaders to discuss an issue and determine the best path forward, I caught a glimpse of how much more there is to running a business than simply solving the engineering problem.  Finally, I understood the relevance of an MBA and the impact that it could have on my career.

The key differentiator for me between Ross and the other part-time MBA programs in the Midwest is Ross’ cohort model.  I love being able to spend these two years learning from my incredibly talented classmates and developing friendships that will last a lifetime.  Combine that with Ross’ world-class faculty, emphasis on action-based learning, and location in college-town Ann Arbor, and the result is an MBA experience unlike any other.  Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, and GO BLUE!
