\u201cThanks to the Questrom Professional Evening MBA program, I have this toolkit that I can reference. Having that has really made me confident in my decisions in my current role as a manager and as a consultant, and that\u2019s been invaluable to me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to business school, Doria Nathanson admits she\u2019s unorthodox. As a BU undergrad, Doria attended the College of Fine Arts, graduated with her BFA, and spent five years in the industry taking on graphic design and marketing projects. \u201cI started as a corporate graphic designer and then started taking on more and more responsibilities,\u201d she says. This atypical background was why she knew she needed to make Questrom her next move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doria chose the Professional Evening MBA program at Questrom because she wanted to align her existing design knowledge with a business framework. Her strengths lie not only in graphic design, but also in strategy, digital marketing, and implementing sales tools to help with marketing efforts. But she was eager to do more. \u201cThat\u2019s the theme of why I\u2019m here; it\u2019s bridging the gap between those two skill sets,\u201d she says. \u201cOne of the biggest drivers for me was to arm myself with some of those tools that I would need to justify some of our marketing decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the PEMBA program allows for students to tailor their degree to their interests, Doria was able to continue pursuing her passion for marketing while working full time. \u201cI\u2019ve taken advantage of the freedom to start slow, rev up, and slow down again when I need to,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But being enrolled in a part-time program doesn\u2019t mean she\u2019s involved any less than full-time students. At Questrom, she has access to all the same resources as the full-time students, including student clubs. \u201cThe student council opened me up to the entire Questrom student community,\u201d she says of her experience as the associate PEMBA representative on the Questrom School of Business Graduate Student Council. \u201cIt created a very dynamic student experience.\u201d Being in that role really helped her to get that much more out of the program, she says. \u201cI\u2019m a self-proclaimed introvert\u2026but things like that take you out of your comfort zone. If you\u2019re getting your MBA, you need to get out of your comfort zone to make the most out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doria also finds herself building up her confidence, which allows her to work better in her full-time position as a Corporate Marketing Manager at Sheehan Family Companies. She didn\u2019t just join the marketing team\u2014she became the marketing team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I became the marketing department,\u201d she explains, \u201cI was missing some of the quantitative skills.\u201d Working in the space of corporate sales and marketing, this graphic designer-turned-marketer oversees nineteen other sub companies across and within the company itself. And the PEMBA program helped her believe in herself enough to excel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt makes me confident on a day to day basis. I know that intuitively a lot of the things I\u2019m learning now I sort of already felt and maybe wasn\u2019t as able to verbalize why\u2014like why certain things work or why we should make specific decisions about a project. Now, I have this toolkit that I can reference. Having that has really made me confident in my decisions in my current role as a manager and as a consultant in all of our companies across the country, and that\u2019s been invaluable to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201dI\u2019ve taken advantage of the freedom to start slow, rev up, and slow down again when I need to.”<\/p>– Doria Nathanson<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
