After graduating from Gettysburg College with a B.A. in Economics, I moved to New York City to work in the finance industry.  After five years in the finance world I came to the decision that I needed a drastic switch, so I moved to Connecticut to work for Bear Naked, a start-up natural granola company.  My main responsibilities were in Operations, but I always found myself intrigued by the marketing aspect and became involved in grassroots events and product development.  This encouraged me to switch my career focus, which is what brought me to BU to pursue my MS-MBA.  I will concentrate in Marketing, focusing on Brand Management, and pursue my interest in Entrepreneurship.
