What excites you most about studying in Washington, DC? Georgetown’s proximity to government institutions attracts many businesses, creating a dynamic environment for business students to learn about the crucial interaction between the public and private spheres. As far as lifestyle, Washington, D.C., boasts significant cultural institutions, a vibrant restaurant scene, great parks, excellent bike trails, and wonderful architecture.
Aside from your classmates and location, what was the key part of Georgetown McDonough’s MBA programming that led you to choose this business school and why was it so important to you? Georgetown’s MBA program allows students to choose from a large list of electives. Additionally, students are able to take electives from other schools within Georgetown and even from other universities in Washington D.C. This aspect of Georgetown’s program is important to me because it will allow me to tailor my education to meet my interests and career goals.
What course, club or activity excites you the most at Georgetown McDonough? I am excited about joining the MBA Volunteers Club and the Net Impact Club. It will be a wonderful experience to work on projects with like-minded peers and apply skills gained in our courses to help the local community. I am also looking forward to the McDonough Soccer Club.
Georgetown McDonough programming focuses heavily on instilling a global mindset. Why is exposure to global diversity so critical to business success? Technological progress is transforming the world into the proverbial global village, and the business world is on the cutting edge of this globalization. However, significant cultural differences remain throughout the world. To preserve and celebrate unique cultures in a time of great change, future business leaders must learn about and alongside a variety of cultures.
These lessons were constantly on my mind during my time as a Peace Corps Education Volunteer in West Africa where I worked with local teachers to create extracurricular programming. Rather than recreating extracurricular activities exactly as I had experienced them as a student and teacher in the United States, my partners and I adapted programs to suit the needs of students from a culture very different from my own.
Looking at your recruitment, what was the moment when you realized Georgetown McDonough was the right program for you? Why? I realized that Georgetown was my top choice when I learned about the focus on cura personalis, or care for the whole person. Based on this philosophy, Georgetown McDonough makes clear that making a positive impact through business is central to all instruction.
Describe your biggest accomplishment in your career so far: My biggest accomplishment is teaching over 500 students in the past four years.
Looking ahead two years, what would make your MBA experience successful? After four years of working as a teacher, I am aiming to gain the necessary business skills to be competitive in the job market. Overall, I would consider my MBA experience a success if I grow personally and professionally, and I am confident that Georgetown’s MBA program will enable me to do so.
