Blake Pradko

Hey! I'm Blake Pradko, a current Master of Business Analytics student at the University of Michigan's Stephen M. Ross School of Business.

Having completed my undergrad in Economics with a minor in Environmental Studies, I was attracted to Ross's MBAn program because of its encompassing and well-rounded curriculum that is focused on (1) building student's business acumen, (2) growing their analytical toolkit, and (3) developing soft skills using a course structure based on group projects and presentations. Furthermore, the final 14-week consultancy at companies including Microsoft, LinkedIn, GM, and Clorox brings the classroom experience into the real world.

Apart from the curriculum, I have enjoyed learning from and connecting with world-class faculty, bonding with my passionate fellow Ross classmates who bring a wealth of experiences and perspectives, and networking with guest lecturers from companies such as Microsoft, PWC, and GM.

One of the top priorities at Ross is making sure that students have the resources and connections to succeed in their career development and job search. Currently, Ross's Career Development Office employs several employee relations liaisons and career coaches. I have found their services in helping me to put my best foot forward in the recruiting process to be invaluable.

As a Ross MBAn Ambassador, I would love to answer any questions you have! Please feel free to email me at [email protected].
