Why did you choose Marshall?
Having had such a positive experience with the school during my time in undergrad, returning to Marshall was a no-brainer. But regarding the MBA program in particular, I chose Marshall for its highly accomplished faculty, use of team-based learning, and myriad extracurricular activities offered. Its strong sense of community was a big selling point too—have you heard of this little thing we have called the Trojan Network?

What has been your favorite USC Marshall experience?
One of the biggest highlights for me was our class trip to Cabo. It doesn’t get much better than being on a beach with over 100 of your friends.

What do you wish you'd known before attending business school?
It’s easy to overextend yourself in business school by exploring too many different interests. Try to come up with a small, but meaningful set of goals to accomplish while in the program; don’t try to boil the ocean.

How is Marshall helping you accomplish your goals?
From the clubs to the career center, and from the professors to the student body in general, Marshall is helping me accomplish my goals by providing me with seemingly endless resources to support the gamut of both my professional and academic needs.
