What surprised you most about Marshall?
It was surprising to see the wealth of support you get when you join Marshall and especially being an international student, the whole of Marshall community such as academic program office, career services, and second years came together to help me transition and immerse myself into the MBA program seamlessly.

What do you wish you'd known before attending business school?
The Pre-MBA Summer academic preparation sent by the Marshall team was quite helpful and would give a good foundation, especially if you are coming from a non-business background. I wish I would have made it better use of that to prep myself to deal with the academic rigor.

What leadership positions do you hold at Marshall?
Co-Director of Marshall Ambassadors
AVP of Technology, Marshall Graduate Student Association

What has been your favorite USC Marshall experience?
Engaging with my classmates through club activities and social events like TAM day, Club Mixers, and Tailgates gave me an opportunity to build lifetime camaraderie and learn from talented Trojans!

Why did you choose Marshall?
I chose Marshall primarily because of 2 reasons. First, the Trojan network - At Marshall, I was amazed by the warmth of the network. Second, is the location - I always wanted to be part of a vibrant community surrounded by like-minded people. And I’m fortunate to be in LA! Ultimately, it pins down to having the best cultural fit to experience Marshall journey.
