The opportunity to accelerate my MBA Part time at a school that inspired me to push myself, empowered me to take risks and explore the world of business while maintaining a culture filled with support is why I chose to continue my education with DeGroote.

Why DeGroote?

As a Undergrad DeGroote Alum, the opportunity to accelerate my MBA Part time at a school that inspired me to push myself, empowered me to take risks and explore the world of business while maintaining a culture filled with support is why I chose to continue my education with DeGroote.

Why an MBA?

I have a passion for learning and I wanted the opportunity to dive deeper in the topics of business I was exposed to in the workplace which I grew to love and topics that would give me the foundation to grow. The Part Time Accelerated program gave me the flexibility to take courses that I was interested in, while working full time.

What piece of advice would you give to anyone considering doing their MBA at DeGroote?

Make the most of your experience by getting involved in the opportunities open for the part time accelerated students. Take that first step into connecting with classmates not to only make connections, but friendships as you move forward in your education and career.

Tell us one fun fact about you!

I did an Exchange in Rouen France during my undergrad and while I was there I visited 11 countries.
