MBA was never for me, throughout my career I was highly encourage to go for MBA as stepping stone for career progression.

Today was my last day interning in communications and marketing at the National Women’s History Museum, and I’m truly thankful I’ve been able to combine my majors in business and history to do meaningful work this academic year.
