E.C:
I will admit this section is a weakness of mine
- Run a small leathergoods company
- Volunteer at 2 local non-profit that helps feed unhoused individuals in our community
- Active member at a local makerspace, teaching courses in sewing and bag making

Why MBA?
I want to set myself up better for my future career. To date I have pigeon holed my knowledge and experience to the R&D of physical consumer goods. I would love to learn more about the business and strategy side of the CPG world and create a broader professional network.

Post MBA Goals:
2-3 years working as a product development consultant at a top firm like BCG or Bain & Co to gain experience in more fields. Long term goal is to launch a company in the housewares category.
