Hey Terrier F1RSTS, Ryan Loveless-Patterson, QST’26, is our sixteenth graduating Terrier F1RST that we are spotlighting!
Program of Study:
Master of Business Administration
What is next for you after graduation?
I plan to continue serving at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, leading within Security and Compliance, and applying the tools, perspective, relationships, and mentorship I gained through this program. The MBA gave me a broader view of leadership, strategy, operations, stewardship, and value creation.
Anyone you want to say “thank you” to from your community of support in the post?
First, I want to thank my family. Their support and motivation made this possible, especially during the long weeks when school, work, Army, and life were all moving at the same time. I also want to thank the faculty and staff at the Questrom School of Business for teaching, guiding, and shepherding our cohort through the program. Thank you to the Newbury Center for giving me a community on campus and helping BU feel a little more personal, even as an online MBA student. And finally, thank you to my teammates. I learned a great deal from you and had the privilege of developing shoulder to shoulder with people who brought different experiences, strengths, and perspectives to the work.
We are wishing Ryan the best on their future endeavors! If you are a graduating Terrier F1RST and want to be spotlighted, please fill out the registration form within the link in our bio.
