Prior to Ross, I worked at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City as a senior project manager coordinating multiple phase 1-3 clinical trials and managing our young onset GI cancer center guiding patients through managing their diagnosis at a young age. With a background rooted in science, I realized I wanted to broaden my business knowledge and build leadership skills that would allow me to make a bigger impact beyond the hospital and research setting.
When I visited Ross for Go Blue Rendezvous (GBR), I immediately felt the sense of community. I had heard about Ross’s collaborative culture but experiencing it in person made it clear that this was the place for me. Since arriving, that has held true, classmates genuinely want to help one another and that support has defined my MBA experience.
At Ross, I’m involved in Michigan Business Women, the Healthcare & Life Sciences Club, and General Management Club, among others. Outside of class, I love exploring Ann Arbor’s food scene in search of restaurants that rival New York, hosting Friday night dinners for friends, and cheering on the Vikings with fellow Minnesotans (SKOL!).
I’m always happy to connect about the transition from healthcare to business school, navigating a career switch, moving to Ann Arbor, or anything else you’re curious about. Go Blue!
