About Me

I came from a very non-traditional, laid-back high school—primarily based on discussion-based learning. When I applied here, my friends were surprised. I didn’t know what Wharton would do for me but I know it was the top business school in the country. After my first semester, I realized that I can take and use the skills I am learning in whatever I decide to do in life. It’s opened my eyes to the opportunities once you leave here because it’s not as straight and narrow as it may seem.

Extracurricular activities
Vice chairman of the Pennsylvania Players, Cohort Rupee representative, PHINS, Blunt College House Music Program.

The best things about Wharton
The ability to make your own path. Working with some of the world best professors without being a graduate student.

3 things I want to do in my life
Be in a Pixar Movie, make an impact on at least one person’s life a year, remain happy.

My favorite experience at Wharton/Penn
Spring Fling.

My "business and more" experience
Being able to do what I want with a degree that has no limits.
