The opportunities I took advantage of outside of the classroom at the Huntsman School of Business took my education to the next level by enabling me to not only launch my career but succeed in it too. Additionally, the Huntsman School instilled a sense of urgency to learn, to focus, and to achieve, all of which are necessary in order to succeed in the dynamic FinTech space. Being a Huntsman alum pay dividends!
