I often get asked why I decided to pursue an MBA and whether it would help my career, especially if I stay with a startup. Without a doubt, I would do it all over again. It has been the best decision I've ever made. The schooling experience has been incredible, with engaging classes, amazing classmates, and a network that has been invaluable. The people I've met and the things I've learned have made this journey so worthwhile.
Having a cohort of 150 Evening MBA students who are invested in each other's success has been phenomenal. Georgia Tech fosters an environment where everyone is trying to help each other succeed, and that has been truly inspiring. My advice to anyone considering a transition is to take the leap, even if you're scared. I was scared, but I jumped, and it has been an incredible experience. I'm no longer confined to the traditional pharmacy world, which, while innovative, is still largely conventional.
Getting my MBA has opened a world of new possibilities and a network of brilliant thinkers and thought leaders. It has given me the opportunity to pivot into different careers, whether it's classical marketing, digital marketing, consulting, or finance. If you're unsure about your career direction and want to move into a more innovative, creative, or business-focused path, I highly recommend pursuing an MBA. Enjoy the journey, optimize your experience, and have fun with it. The classes are engaging and applicable to real life, making the whole process so rewarding. Just take the jump — you'll love it.
