Why did you join SWIB? I joined SWIB to be part of a community of strong, passionate, and ambitious women. This community has been so influential in my journey at Stern so far and i've been able to bond with so many people from such diverse backgrounds. I hope to further SWIB's mission and help build a stronger pipeline of mentorship within the community.

Favorite part about Stern: The culture! Stern has such an amazing culture created by a melting pot of people with diverse backgrounds. Every day I learn and connect with someone with a unique background and am able to learn from their experiences. It helps me reflect on my own life experiences and grow into a better person as a result.

Advice for women considering pursuing business school: Don't underestimate yourself! It's so easy to have self-doubt and imposter syndrome when applying/pursuing business school. Having a strong community of women who support each other around you will help immensely as you navigate the complicated realm of business school.

Fun Fact: I once performed at the Philadelphia 76ers half-time show!
