About Me

I’m interested in business and obviously, Wharton is the place for that. I also wanted to come here to live in a city. I wanted to try a new East Coast lifestyle. Coming from Minnesota, I was the only person I knew coming here. It was a bit overwhelming at first but the New Student Orientation made me feel comfortable from the minute I got here. There were so many activities and chances to meet people. The sense of community here at Wharton is huge.

Building relationships with my professors (Professor Andrea Jao & Professor Colette Copeland).

My "business and more" experience
I am not only learning everything there is to know about the fields of business that I am interested in, but I am also getting to meet such wonderful people from around the world while doing it. I have spoken with professors about their careers on Wall Street. Alumni have contacted me to visit them and see what they do. I also have had the opportunities to meet friends that I will have forever.
