What do you love about SWIB? SWIB has this amazing ability to create community across people with many different lived experiences through shared and unique goals. Every SWIB event allows me the opportunity to meet and deepen connections with some of the most amazing and kick-ass people I have met!

Favorite SWIB Memory: My favorite SWIB memory was helping coordinate the Conference last year. Being able to jointly experience our hard work come together in an amazing event was one of the most exciting and impactful aspects of Stern for me.

Favorite part about Stern: The culture of openness! The majority of people at Stern are willing to have open and honest conversations. I found that this has been so key in creating community and growing as a person.

Advice for women considering pursuing business school: Be introspective. Business school is an AMAZING experience with a wealth of potential opportunities. Be sure you understand why you want to come to business school so you can really understand how to take advantage or create opportunities that work for you.

Fun Fact: I make cross-stitch patterns for fun!
