Victoria Achumba

My career path has been guided by a passion for entrepreneurship, leadership, and justice. I am currently finishing my MBA with a specialization in entrepreneurship, which has strengthened my business, strategic, and operational skills. Alongside my studies, I started my own event décor business, Cloud 9 Decor & Events, where I manage all aspects of planning, design, and client relations. After completing my MBA, I plan to pursue a Juris Doctor degree with the goal of becoming an attorney and eventually establishing my own law firm. Through my combined experience in business and law, I aim to create opportunities, advocate for justice, and make a meaningful impact in the communities I serve.

My graduate school interests center on entrepreneurship, business law, and community impact. As a member of the Entrepreneurship Opportunity Scholars (EOS) program, I have developed a strong foundation in building and scaling businesses, which complements my experience running Cloud 9 Decor & Events. I am particularly interested in exploring courses in entrepreneurship and innovation, business law, negotiation and conflict resolution, and leadership, as these areas directly support my goal of combining legal expertise with entrepreneurial ventures. Additionally, I am passionate about social entrepreneurship and nonprofit management, which will allow me to create opportunities that benefit communities while pursuing my long-term objective of establishing my own law firm. These interests reflect my commitment to leveraging business and legal knowledge to drive meaningful impact.
