Katrenia Reed Hughes
MBA Project Manager, Organizational Development
Reed Hughes completed her pre-doctoral internship at Butler
University's Counseling Center in 2000 and later joined Purdue
University as an African American Student Liaison and Staff
Therapist from 2001 to 2005. After starting the MBA program at
Butler and having numerous inspirational conversations with College
of Business faculty and Accelerator staff, she became
interested in the field of human resources. Her

Accelerator is organizational development. The value
that she adds to the Accelerator is a balanced mixture of
psychology and MBA coursework and experiences.
"The Butler Business Accelerator has been invaluable in my
career transition. I needed a work experience that would have
a large learning component and the Accelerator has been phenomenal
in providing a very diverse repertoire of experiences and skills to
prepare me for my short- and long-term career aspirations. The
educational and experiential growth generated by the Accelerator
has been exceptional," Katrenia Reed Hughes.
