First day jitters! (September, 2023)

Welcome back, Business Badgers! I can’t think of a more exciting time than the beginning of a new school year. Growing up, my parents always took my picture by a tree in front of our house on the first day of school. Except for a few years during my undergraduate days, I kept up that tradition wherever I lived. This is a picture of me on the first day of my final year of coursework during my doctoral degree. You can see how excited I was! Now, a “few” years later, I am here with all of you, ready for a fresh start in my first academic year at WSB.
