About Me

I've learned some valuable lessons here at Wharton — lessons I know will carry me through in whatever career I choose. I learn much better when given hands-on and practical tasks where there is always a way to combine my skills, interests, and passions. I want to be an entrepreneur and I enjoy seeing things through from the very beginning. A great example of this practical application has been my involvement in the cohort system and helping to build it from the ground up for future classes.

Extracurricular activities
Wharton Undergraduate Cohort Executive Board, Penn QuakeRaas Dance Team, Wharton Sustainability Advisory Board.

3 things I want to do in my life

What I want to do with my business education
I hope to use my business education in order to help advance efforts to increase access and quality of health care internationally. I eventually want to start a non-profit devoted to this cause.
