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 concentration is leadership and her area of expertise at the 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.
