I always knew it was going to be a ‘slow and steady wins the race’ journey for me at Whitman, but I think everything has happened in the right time for me...I don’t think I would have been able to make Uncle Nearest or some of my other business ideas happen in my earlier years. I’ve learned a great deal and achieved many things I never could have dreamed of— and Whitman’s Online MBA Program has only enhanced the experience along the way.

The Managerial Finance course with Assistant Teaching Professor in Finance Tianyue Zhao was the most transformative part of my MBA experience. Even though my focus was marketing, this course ignited a deep passion for finance and opened my eyes to new career possibilities. It reshaped my career trajectory and broadened my understanding of the financial world, ultimately guiding my decision to pursue a career in finance.

There’s a misconception that online learning lacks meaningful interactions with professors and peers, but that was not my experience. When you have exceptional professors like I experienced, the courses become truly engaging.

My nontraditional business school background makes me stand out. Having a multidisciplinary background that spans both the humanities and social sciences, and working in the nonprofit sector, I see things differently.

My teaching is built on developing the ability to solve unstructured problems and the ability to bear quantitative analysis to decision making, along with the ability to persuade a diverse audience about one’s viewpoint, as those qualities are such critical assets for business professionals.

It is my hope that the award will not only help retain some of our most exceptional students but also ensure that these students know the school recognizes their accomplishments and the potential they have shown in just a short time on campus.

I found a family aspect in Whitman. It's not like other big programs where there is a competitive environment. I didn’t choose Whitman because I was already in Syracuse; I chose it because of the atmosphere it provided.
