I achieved my MBA at International American University and was honored to be awarded Student of the Year Award 2020. First of all, choosing IAU was one of the best decisions in my career because it helped me push my boundaries professionally and personally. I came to the USA with a pocket full of dreams to achieve a higher education degree and the goal to learn management, marketing, finance, and organizational behavior concepts.
