What do you love about SWIB? I love that SWIB is a place where I can work with like-minded women who are interested in changing the landscape for women entering the workplace.

Favorite SWIB Memory: Participating in all of the Women's week activities in March. SWIB had activities every single day and it was a great way to learn from my fellow Sternies!

Favorite part about Stern: Having New York City right at your fingertips. The NYC business community is so excited to help Stern students, even if they are not Stern alums themselves. I did not realize the power of this New York network until I started coursework here, but it truly is incredible.

Advice for women considering pursuing business school: Don't feel like you can only pursue an MBA if it perfectly fits into a career plan you have set out for yourself. There is never going to be the "perfect time" to get an MBA. If you are interested in it, I encourage you to get out there and do it!

Fun Fact: I am a huge foodie! After living in NYC for only 1 year, I have been to over 220 new restaurants which I have ranked by cuisine and neighborhood in an excel spreadsheet.
