To get to where I am today, to get to the Vice President role, to get to work at a great company like Citi,
you need that educational background. You need the, you need those credentials, and I believe that by completing this program, it really helped. It really kind of pushed my resume to the front, and people saw that not only does he have an undergrad degree, he also has a Master's in Business and Administration. So, this guy is checking a lot of boxes, and I think that was really beneficial to me because I do see myself as a leader, I see myself as someone that's going to excel, I do want to see myself one
day as a CEO. So I need to make sure that I have all my boxes checked.
When I first started taking classes in the MBA program, um, I wanted to be where I am now. So, I started
the program, I was an associate, um, working at another bank, uh, and now, two years later, once I
completed the program, I am a vice president at another larger, you know, more prominent bank. So, I think all of my goals that I set at the beginning of the program; I've reached them now that I'm at the end of the program. I graduated with a great GPA, great friends, and then I'm reaching my career goals.
Seattle University Albers School of Business helped me by becoming better person, really, especially in a professional environment. I believe that some of the classes that I took really taught me how to be a, a better employee as well as a better employer. Um, and in a professional, in a professional
aspect. I took courses on communication. I took courses on how to write emails. And these are, these are courses that very, very important and very, very critical to growing as a professional in the professional world. So, Seattle U really helped me by being a better professional uh, uh, person in whatever industry I'm in.
