Continuous learning and contribution to the body of knowledge have been an integral part of my life. After careful consideration and thought, I realized it was the right time to take my career to the next level by pursuing a DBA. This is to broaden my knowledge to innovate, solve more complex problems and lead change in practical ways in the business world.

Finally, I want to become a faculty member in top Business Schools, supporting, teaching, educating, and sharing my knowledge, skills, and experience with the world.
