Why did you choose Marshall?
I chose Marshall for its small class size, flexible curriculum, Trojan network, and location. Compared to some other MBA programs, Marshall offers a smaller class size, which will allow me to get to know my classmates and build genuine and global relationships and networks that will be crucial to achieving my future objectives. Another excellent reason for choosing Marshall is the flexibility to choose the courses I want to take beginning in my first year, allowing me to create the educational experience I desire and enroll in classes I'm specifically interested in. Last but not least, the weather in Southern California is the best there is.

What has been your favorite USC Marshall experience?
"The amazing people I've met and the sincere connections I've made thus far. Everyone is incredibly kind and willing to assist. The best team out there is my Core Team. We all come from various backgrounds and have different experiences, but we have a lot of fun together and I've learned a lot from them."

What do you wish you'd known before attending business school?
“You won’t be able to do everything and that’s okay”. It would be challenging to attempt to complete everything at once because there are constantly a lot of events going on from a curricular, career, or community viewpoint. Be open and adaptable, set priorities based on what is important to you, and then go ahead and do that.

How is Marshall helping you accomplish your goals?
Marshall has given me the platform and resources I need to achieve my educational and professional goals. I can reach out to anyone using the Marshall brand, and they will respond. In addition, I always have access to the instructors, courses, clubs, and career services who are always accessible and available to provide the guidance I need to succeed.
