Leaving the office to finish MBA Program

I’m about to finish my MBA program, so I’ll be out of the office (meaning no blogging until next week). I’m excited about continuing the new chapter of my life in TN but as an ambitious-employment seeker. I’ve been working on my MBA for my past 18-months in-campus with the exception of my last semester online because of my transition from FL to TN. In the meantime, you can visit my latest posts about my upcoming participation in the Komen for the Cure Tri-Cities 5K Walk or the upcoming Storytelling Festival this weekend. Don’t forget to come back next week, I will be posting about Hispanic Heritage month and the importance of not forgetting about this brand-loyal demographic which is the leading minority right now in the US.
