"It was a smooth transition from the undergrad to the grad program. I knew I wanted to do an MBA with Dr. Andrews and several of the staff members there, but the healthcare administration portion was new, so being one of the first ones to go through that program, I thought that was unique in a way that I'm not only paving my career, but doing likewise for the university."
