Describe your biggest accomplishment in your career so far: Created, negotiated, and closed the largest new corporate partnership for the NHL Blue Jackets during the 2014-2015 season, which led to all revenue goals, individual and team, being achieved.

Looking back on your experience, what one piece of advice would you give to future business school applicants? Maintain relationships with former employers, because their recommendations can make a large impact on your application. Having past executives write a strong reference shows a candidate’s talent for building lasting professional relationships and the ability to make a business impact.

What was the key factor that led you to choose this program for your full-time MBA and why was it so important to you? I chose the Fisher College of Business because of its strong connections to the business leaders in Columbus. Fisher and its faculty have done a wonderful job creating a bridge between the Ohio Fortune 500 companies and MBA students. We have intimate discussions with executives detailing their greatest business challenges and how they are working to solve them. The ability to deeply interact with central Ohio decision-makers is unique and creates the exciting classroom experience I wanted in a business school.

What would success look like to you after your first year of business school? A successful first year would conclude with a leadership rotational program internship at a Fortune 500 company. These programs provide great technical development and the opportunity to work closely with upper management. While business school provides the tools to analyze situations, a leadership rotational internship allows the MBA candidate to put those skills into practice.
