Business Analyst, Knowledge Manager, Writer and Editor
- Los Angeles, US
My interest in a Master of Science in Leadership and Management (MSLM) degree with an Organizational Development concentration arose, as many things do for people, from a need inside me to somehow make the world a better place. No matter how big or small the impact, my personal and professional lives had become more and more impacted by both the pursuit of knowledge, technology and in making meaningful connections with people.
