How do we tie it all together? As a Fisher MBA student, I began my journey alongside experienced and accomplished classmates from all walks of life. Our cohort includes PhDs in engineering, successful entrepreneurs, and emerging leaders from a variety of industries across the world. This dynamic learning environment tests our abilities to devise impactful solutions for both traditional and newly emerging business challenges.

I embarked on a journey to the Fisher College of Business with excitement and a hint of nervousness. I carried hopes, dreams, and a desire to conquer what I knew would be a daunting challenge—earning my MBA. I was well aware of the academic rigor, but the personal and professional growth opportunities that awaited me were equally thrilling and, as I would come to realize, transformative.

This month marks the end of my first year at the Fisher College of Business, and what a year it has been! I cannot put into words how amazing the experience was and how thoroughly I enjoyed being a part of it. I have made some lifelong connections and built some strong networks during the course of this program. Reflecting back, I would love to highlight the plethora of skills that I have acquired in such a limited amount of time.
