Spotlight
As the coordinator of Urban Affairs and Diversity Programs at the Food Marketing Institute, Nadine chose the Loyola program in large part because it encourages future business leaders to discard purely selfish interests in favor of unreserved integrity.” Today, as a student and professional at a non-profit organization representing the supermarket industry, she is absorbing all Loyola has to offer.

When Nadine Bartholomew left Trinidad at the age of 15, she had no idea how far her journey would take her. After putting herself through college, she set off on a career that took her from book fair promotions and banking to a position as the marketing specialist for a major supermarket chain. She found her calling in the food retail and wholesale industry – one of the largest single business categories in the world. Nadine knew an MBA was the next stop. After regional search, the program of choice was obvious. The Loyola MBA.

One day, Nadine may return to Trinidad, perhaps to open a chain of specialty grocery stores, or start a gourmet food import-export business. With a Loyola MBA, Nadine believes anything is possible. And she’s probably right.
