Describe your college experience
Transitioning to college and Philly from high school required a couple of months of adjusting, however, the people that I met through the process made it incredibly enjoyable. I feel like I have now found my place and people at Penn.
Tip for future students
Try everything with anyone. Not being shy to meet new people and experiences will reward you with perspectives and opportunities you may not have even known existed.
Favorite class
OIDD 1010. Love this Wharton core class on operations that I'm taking now. Although learning about operations can be tricky, the class structure and professors have provided so much support.
Career goals
I hope to work in investment banking or consulting post grad for a few years before attending law school.
Ideal way to spend a free night
