Hometown: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Describe yourself in 15 words or less:
Mysterious and nonchalant, definitely not reliant on Google Calendar.
Who most influenced your decision to pursue your BSBA?
My dad! He would always play Shark Tank and encouraged me to start my own slime business in elementary school.
What advice would you give to an incoming Scheller student?
Talk to the people you sit next to in class! It’s so important to have friends to study and do assignments with. Who knows, you might meet your best friend! I would also strongly recommend doing a study abroad program or business exchange — it was the best time of my life.
What activities were you involved with on or off campus, and did your business education impact those activities in any way?
During my time at Scheller, I was in the Denning Technology and Management Program, Society of Women in Business, Consult Your Community, and also participated in the IE Business Exchange Program in Madrid, Spain. Almost all my involvements were related to Scheller, so I’d say I really tapped into Scheller’s offerings.
What is something unexpected you learned about Scheller College during your time as a student?
I was surprised by how much emphasis Scheller places on group projects; collaboration is core to learning, and teamwork skills are built into nearly every course.
What’s been your favorite memory so far at Scheller?
My Legal Aspects of Business class professor Arn Rubinoff encouraged us to build study groups in preparation for our exams. My freshman year study group ended up becoming one of my closest friend groups during my time in college.
Where will you be working after graduation?
I’ll be working at PricewaterhouseCoopers in New York City in SAP Consulting!
Who would you like to thank most for your success?
I want to thank my parents the most for my success. As an only child, leaving home for college, internships, and study abroad was challenging, but their unwavering support and encouragement gave me the confidence to pursue every opportunity.
What is one thing people would be surprised to learn about you?
I skipped a grade so I’m a year younger than everyone else.
What are the top two items on your bucket list?
Visit all seven wonders of the world (I’m at 5/7 right now) and open my own coffeeshop.
Which classmate do you most admire?
I admire Kai Lewis. We worked at EY together after she encouraged me to apply. She’s such an amazing friend, group project member, and travel buddy.
What actor would you cast to play yourself in a movie about your life, and why?
Emma Watson; I love her acting and how much philanthropic work she does.
What's your favorite place you've traveled to, and why?
Peru with the Denning T&M program for spring break! Seeing Machu Picchu and going on site
visits with my cohort was so much fun.
Favorite family tradition?
My mom makes my favorite Indian dishes every time she picks me up from the airport.
What is your proudest accomplishment?
Speaking at the T&M commencement ceremony.
What did you want to be when you were small?
I wanted to be a firefighter. Not really sure what inspired that, but I definitely chose a very different path.
What is your latest book recommendation?
“Have a Little Faith” by Mitch Albom.
Which Atlanta spot, activity, or hidden gem would you recommend to future students?
My friends and I find ourselves at Jenis Ice Cream almost every week. My favorite is the Wildberry Lavender, though everyone seems to dislike it.
