Why did you choose Iona to pursue your MBA?

It was a great local option that had the concentration in Business and Computers that I was looking for.

How did it help you in your career?

The intersection of Technology and Business little did I know was about to be the most transformation process business would see in recent years. It was always pointing back to what the business was going to get out of the Tech rather than the other way around

What is your advice for current students?

Always ask why something will be an improvement over the current process rather than assume anything. Question why before proceeding on projects.
