My background is rooted in healthcare, having earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) in 2011. After navigating the complexities of patient care, I saw the growing need for strong leaders in the healthcare sector—leaders who understand not only patient care but also the business principles that drive organizational success.  

My motivation to pursue an MBA stems from my desire to step into a leadership role that merges healthcare expertise with business acumen. I wanted to understand the intersection of business and healthcare better. It’s about providing the best possible care while ensuring efficiency and sustainability.

I was drawn to the program not just for its academic rigor but also for the focus on developing leaders across diverse fields, including healthcare. This holistic way of thinking has been invaluable for my professional development as I gain tools and strategies that go beyond nursing and explore organizational behavior, strategic decision-making, and leadership skills.

I also acknowledge the program’s supportive environment. It’s not just about academic growth. At Morningside, I feel like my professors and peers are invested in my success on both a professional and personal level.

For myself, maintaining a balance between full-time work, being a mother to two young children, and pursuing an MBA has been no small feat. But my family’s unwavering support is the key ingredient in making it all work. 

Morningside’s faculty has also contributed to making this balancing act possible. My professors were curious about my nursing background, encouraging me to share my experiences while providing practical ways to integrate my healthcare expertise into discussions about business and leadership. 

My ultimate goal is to lead an organization where I can drive meaningful change, foster a collaborative environment, and support both the organization and its people. Through courses like organizational behavior, I feel better equipped to take on challenges and create a culture of success and care. 

The program has exceeded my expectations. The supportive community, the professors’ expertise, and the focus on seeing things from different perspectives have all contributed to a remarkable experience. 

My story serves as an inspiring example of how an MBA can be a transformational chapter in someone’s life. I’m so glad I made the decision to join Morningside’s MBA program. It’s been such a rewarding journey so far, and I’m excited to keep growing and making an impact in my field.
