Hometown: Edenton, NC
Reason You Chose the MMA Program: As I progressed in my career as a hospitality and tourism professional, I felt unfulfilled. I decided that I wanted to further my education and gain my master’s degree at a university that valued its students as much as it valued its ability to provide an outstanding education. NC State University stood out to me as a top choice. As I did my research and spoke with advisors at NC State, I knew that the Marketing Analytics program would fit my career interests best. Now that I am over a year into the program, I know that this is the right choice for me! The educators and staff are student-focused and the MMA program provides the flexibility that I need as a working professional. There is a wonderful community feel that the MMA program has developed, and I am so happy to be a part of that.
