Senior HR Manager, Global R&D Feminine Care,
Procter and Gamble
Janet Nelson imagined that her undergraduate degree would end her formal career preparation. Her friends saw the spark of something more—and encouraged her to seek the added education to give it fuel.
As an aspiring professional, Janet was drawn to the opportunity at Vanderbilt to earn an MBA with a concentration in Human and Organizational Performance, her area of interest. She was also drawn to the opportunity to attend classes by day and be at home at night with her daughter.
Two years of evening and weekend work weren't easy. But four years in the Army had taught her discipline. Juggling family and scholarly responsibilities finely honed her time management skills.
Janet never imagined the number of job offers that would come her way. One of them led her to Procter & Gamble in Cincinnati—and a whole new world she helped shape at Vanderbilt.
