Challenges in life: Life going too fast for me to learn all the things I would like to learn
As a business owner for 25 years I decided that I really wanted to challenge myself and all of my life's learning so I went to UTAS to do an MBA. I completed my MBA part-time over 3 years and loved it!
I made many new friends and amazed myself. The MBA has been invaluable for life as the Lord Mayor of Hobart.
Although I was time poor, juggling a business, family and study I was able to achieve all Distinctions or High Distinctions in my degree.
I hope that through my dedication to my career and study I am able to inspire more people to fulfil their education and career goals.
