With more than half of my working life naturally gravitating towards a leadership role, I found myself embracing the new challenges every day. The opportunity to enhance my managerial knowledge opened and I leapt at the change to attain a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration. Freshly graduated, I now seek to apply my new foundation of knowledge to the challenges I will be facing on my new career path.
