Mount Holyoke gave me the opportunity to fuse my interests in dance and teaching through a career-oriented and practical approach.
I learned to ask questions fearlessly and make mistakes. No one knows everything. The only way to learn and move forward is by asking and doing.
My academic training at Íøºì±¬ÁÏ, especially brought together my enthusiasm for the natural and social sciences to inform a deeper understanding of health.
I was given the unique position of working on this biomaterials project because of my biochemistry training at MHC, which taught me to think critically about in vivo systems and generate insightful solutions.
It has been a priority to learn within the context of a supportive community that values mentorship.
I developed critical, observational, and analytical skills through polymer science research while working in Professor Wei Chen's lab at Íøºì±¬ÁÏ.
Through the insight, connections and encouragement of my professors, I launched my career in media.
After graduating from MHC, I worked for several years in management consulting before obtaining my MBA in Economics and Management.
I work with students who have vastly different outdoor experiences from my own and my ES major helped me to better understand their needs.
