Meet A Graduate

A successful restaurateur, Mo completed her MBA to stay on top of trends in a competitive industry

I love business—it fascinates me. Instead of novels, I read business books. When I started Sylvester’s Restaurant as a young woman, I didn’t realize I was going to be an entrepreneur. But then, the business bloomed into an unimaginable success. We are fortunate to be surrounded by great people—the staff of Sylvester’s and Roberto’s are community-minded leaders, and without them, we would not be in business.

In order to be successful in the competitive restaurant industry, we have to keep up with shifting trends, and we have to remain flexible. With technology evolving at a record pace and a rise in innovation, I was motivated to get my MBA. Course discussions about innovation and design taught me to stay energized, expand my thinking, and ignite my creativity. Professors worked with me on developing analytics and assessing market trends--coursework that was instrumental in the growth of my own businesses.
