What do you love about SWIB? I love that SWIB is a community where we can all come together and make a difference in this world. It’s an incredibly empowering movement to be a part of.

Favorite SWIB Memory: I loved meeting with a member of SWIB before my NYU interview. It was so helpful to hear her advice and have her answer my questions about academics, life at Stern, and career opportunities.

Favorite part about Stern: The family! I have made so many friends in such a short amount of time, and we love to go out and explore new places in NYC. I am a born and raised Long Islander, so I’ve spent a lot of time in the city, but there is always a new restaurant around the corner that people are open to trying. Block 2 best block!

Advice for women considering pursuing business school: Don’t feel like you’re at a disadvantage because you’re not the “typical business candidate.” Your unique experiences are what business schools are going to value you on.

Fun Fact: I write and produce my own music that is on Spotify and Apple Music. Check out Jayde Blackstar if you’re curious!
