About Me

Honestly, I was a bit naïve before I came to Wharton. I thought studying business meant solely learning how to start a business. My plan was to come to Penn to figure out what I love to do, and somehow turn whatever that was into a business. Now, after being at Penn for almost two years, experiencing Wharton’s top financial position firsthand, and taking the Wharton core, my plans really have not changed. Penn and Wharton have given me the opportunities to explore my interests outside the business world — with my fine arts minor — while still learning the fundamentals necessary to run my own business. It excites me that I can simultaneously satisfy my quantitative and qualitative sides by combining my knowledge from my various classes.

3 best things about Wharton
The applicability of the core curriculum’s classes to almost anything you could dream of doing with your life, the energy of the students, Huntsman Hall.

3 things I love about Philly
The ability to find the perfect food for any occasion – from food trucks (between classes) and Wawa (late night cravings) to swanky restaurants downtown (weekends), it’s multiple personalities with the different segments of the city: University City (college life), Center City (downtown), Olde City (historical), South Street (hip), you can walk everywhere.

What I want to do in my life
Run a marathon, raise a family, start and run a company that somehow adds value to the world.

My favorite experience at Wharton/Penn?
It’s hard to pick just one favorite experience because to me the entirety of the college experience — the academics, social life, downtime, etc. — as a package is what makes every day so much fun. However, if I had to pick one experience that sticks out it would be TAing for Management 100. Entering college is maybe one of the most exciting times in a person’s life, and I wholeheartedly enjoyed being a part of that transition for the students in the team. The kids I TA’ed with are now some of my best friends here, and any time I need advice, I can always count on the older TAs. The TA community really is equivalent to my family here at Penn and Wharton.
