Prior to coming to Ross, I was a product development engineer in the automotive industry. I worked in the diesel engines department and later in the autonomous and active safety area at GM. I really enjoyed the open-ended problem solving and data-driven decision making processes and decided that I wanted to do this at a higher level, but was lacking the business acumen to excel. Ross offered a great learning atmosphere and opportunities to get involved in a vast number of clubs to help me develop the skills I would need, while also exposing me to new opportunities I wasn't aware of prior to school.
