As someone who thrives with change, I was terrified of going down a path where I was put in a singular box. An MBA allows for diverse learning and creates unlimited potential. It is ultimately the holistic nature of the learning and the opportunities that come along with that, that really drew me to an MBA.

What has been the highlight of your DeGroote experience so far?
One specific highlight of my DeGroote experience thus far was competing in the charity pitch competition at the end of my first in-class semester. My group was pitching for the Baby Depot and getting to hear stories from our community organization was inspiring.
