About Me

In searching for the perfect college, I knew I wanted to be at a big school that would offer a wide range of academic options and extracurricular activities. I also wanted to attend a college in an urban setting that still had the feel of a typical college campus. Luckily, I found everything I was looking for in Penn! I've joined a sorority, played intramural tennis, obtained a leadership position in the Dollar Cohort, and worked as a student researcher alongside a Wharton professor.

Extracurricular activities
Chi Omega sorority, CityStep dance teacher, Wharton Dollar Cohort Class President.

3 best things about Wharton
The accomplished professors, the opportunity to work in teams and get to know other Wharton students, guest speakers.

3 things I love about Philly
Tons of concerts, famous Steven Starr restaurants, shopping downtown on Walnut Street.

What I want to do in my life
Start a non-profit foundation for underprivileged children in Paraguay, travel the world on a sailboat, write a book.

What I want to do with my business education
Initially, I hope to go into consulting and work internationally. After that, the possibilities are endless! I could start my own company, work on Wall Street, pioneer a sustainability campaign at a private company, join a non-profit, or develop the next big idea at a marketing firm.

My favorite experience at Wharton/Penn
Going on the Wharton International Program sustainability-focused trip to Brazil during spring break.
