What led you to enroll in the MSLCE program at Northwestern?

While searching for a master’s program in leadership, I encountered several options that didn’t quite align with my goals. That’s when I discovered the MSLCE program, which I believe offers the ideal pathway to enhance my skills and advance my career within the creative industry. This program’s versatility is what made MSLCE exciting to me and made it stand out as the ideal choice.

I am most excited for the internship aspect, I love getting hands on experience.

If you could have lunch with one person (living or dead), who would it be? And why?

I would choose to have lunch with Mark King. He’s not just an accomplished figure but a inspirationto me.

He is from close to my hometown which making his journey even more relatable.

What award would you most like to win?

None at the moment, I would just like to do impactful work.

If you had to describe yourself in three words, they would be…

Driven, Creative, Friendly.
