Hi Mr. The Commerce Guy,
Congrats on your promotion at KPMG, especially during these times. This is Debbie Choy from mbaMission.

One area to consider beefing up is your current community leadership activities. Are you involved with any community organizations right now? If not, it’s not too late to get engaged. If you are already volunteering, consider stepping up your engagement a bit more to demonstrate leadership.

I’m a little confused on what you are hoping to get out of your 2nd mba, especially if you are looking to stay within your current industry.
