Job After CIMBA: Owner of Pepperhead restaurant
Reason for choosing the CIMBA MBA: I wanted to see if I had the desire to work and live abroad.
The CIMBA Experience: I had an amazing, eye-opening two year in Asolo working and studying at CIMBA. It was a great choice; I never regret going because it gave me the tools and knowledge to start my own business when I returned to the US and make it successful even in a down economy.
Goals: Expand our brand!
