About Me

Being a first-generation American, I owe so much to my parents. The life lessons they taught me are what I carry with me now everyday. I am especially thankful for developing my love for languages. Growing up speaking Farsi, Hebrew, and English has prompted me to take on Arabic as my next target. My parents laid the foundation. The drive, the love, and the will to explore — these are all things that I now apply to life at Wharton and thereafter.

3 best things about Wharton
A standard for excellence, guidance from professors, incredible support from your peers.

Something I've learned about myself
The importance of humility, resiliency, and planning.

What I want to do with my business education
With so many options, I’m still exploring what I want to do with my business education.

My "business and more" experience
At the end of the day, we are not in college to make friends with our textbooks. We are in college to make lifelong friends. Penn students understand that and realize it’s as much about learning from our one-hour lectures as it is our 1 a.m. conversations with floor mates. When your classmates are tomorrow’s leaders, you’ll realize how much you can learn from your friends. Building relationships and investing time in one another leads to the most growth and the best memories come graduation time.
