About Me

When I came here, for me it definitely was all about business, but I knew I wanted to be in a place where I could be me, I could chill and be ambitious at the same time. What I’ve found out though – why I came to Wharton and what I want to get out of it – has totally changed. I now want to bring my business know-how to the fashion side of things. I have a huge interest in fashion, blogging about fashion, making clothes, etc. But I still have a big love of anything technology and through Wharton, I was able to work at Google last summer. It’s been a real adventure.

Extracurricular activities
Blogging, designing, cooking.

What I’ve learned about myself
Someone else must have lived my life during high school, because I cannot get up earlier than 10AM on a given day. Free food is a really great motivator — something I learned as a summer intern at Google. My inspirations and goals change just about daily, so now I just go with the flow.

What I want to do with my business education
Use my creative passions and business savvy to be a positive force in the fashion industry.
