“It’s understanding the value as it relates to business, the quality, the data, the metrics and how to appropriate and apply that reasoning from conception to close-out,” she said.

“In one of the classes I took, we did SMART goals. We had to do a timeline of our short- and long-term goals. It was fascinating and mind-blowing. From there, I was able to define where I wanted to be in my career and what I can take from each class and apply and optimize it with my profession.”
