lasting impact me that I will use throughout the rest of my life. They have
prepared me well and I thank them for their leadership in the MSBA program
Q: Can you recall a favorite memory from the program?
For my Capstone Field Team Study project, I was put on a
team that was aimed to be a consultant for Ristorante i Ricchi, a traditional
Tuscan Italian restaurant in D.C. Some of my favorite memories have been
working with my team and the professors on how to best increase the awareness
of the restaurant and help them communicate better with the Millennial
generation. Additionally, the perks are that we have been eating really well
with some delicious pastas!
