Prior to Ross, I was working at Protiviti, a global consulting firm in Chicago. I started my career in operational and financial audit, along with helping to bring to market new and emerging technology, and a fellowship in public consulting.  While working, I was also involved in facilitating design thinking workshops, leading an AAPI employee network group, and helping with local mentoring initiatives in Chicago.

I decided to pursue an MBA to develop my core business knowledge, grow my leadership skills, and further learn about the intersection of business and social impact. I chose Ross because of the commitment to creating a diverse, and action based learning environment. But beyond that, it truly distilled down to the current students, new peers and the alumni that I met through the application journey, and the conversations that I had along the way. Everyone I connected with had a clear 'pay it forward' attitude.

That being said, I'm truly excited to pass on the Michigan spirt, and connect with prospective student as you consider Ross. I'm happy to talk about the Ross experience, Ann Arbor, Consortium, or any of the listed interests! Go Blue!
