How did IOB experience affect your life/ career?
My IOB experience helped me realize a lot of things
in life. Actually, it changed my life! I came back as a
new person. From all the wonderful experiences in the
classroom to the amazing people I met along the way.
It allowed me to discover more about the world around
me, but more importantly, myself. It also opened up an
entire range of professional opportunities to me due to
the skills and experiences I gained at IOB. It has been
eight years since I was a student at IOB, but not a single
day goes by where its impact is not felt in my life.
Do you have a life motto?
Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right
to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to
learn new things and move forward with your life - Dr.
