I can’t believe I’m about to start my second year at Booth. What a year it’s been!
I’ve made the MOST incredible friends & supporters - simply the most inspiring group of people I could ever imagine.
I’ve participated in a non-profit consulting project for One Million Degrees - my first attempt at consulting, and for a non-profit I love!
I’ve challenged myself with classes (Financial Statement Analysis) and taken some fun ones too (New Venture Strategy)
I was a LAUNCH (orientation) mentor a few weeks ago - the most fun I’ve had thus far!
I’ve gotten the Dean’s List recognition - twice
I became a co-chair for Graduate Women in Business
And so much more!
A theme of my time thus far at Booth is self-discovery. I’ve learned I’m more interested in some things than I had thought I was - statistics and strategy - and less interested in other subjects such as finance.
I’ve learned at least as much from my classmates as I have learned in the classroom. I’ve learned about industries and job functions, and what some workplaces do well and not so well. Chatting with my classmates at events, before/during/after class, and on Saturday-night bar nights has helped me to better understand my own goals and what I want out of my Booth experience and out of my career afterward. What a journey so far!
This upcoming year, I hope to continue to challenge myself academically, as well as challenge myself to have more fun - starting with the Boat Cruise in a few weeks, followed by Ski Trip in March 2019.
My first time as a LAUNCH Mentor!
