Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "I’m most proud of helping to launch the Initiative Fund. This is an evergreen, student-run, discretionary grant fund endowed by the university to the student government assembly for the purpose of bettering the NYU community and the lives of NYU students. The fund is still in its inaugural year, but is already on track to fund the creation of a food pantry in Steinhardt, living walls of plants in Stern and other buildings around campus, the installation of new water fountains, and the provision of new seating areas for students. I’ve really enjoyed being involved in student government, but these sorts of tangible projects are by far the most rewarding to work on because I know my efforts will be directly felt by my peers."

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "After considering a few different programs, I became completely enamored by NYU Stern’s Entertainment specialization and the connection that NYU has to the broader film and entertainment industry. Because I was making such a big pivot, I knew I needed to attend an MBA program where I could garner as much knowledge and requisite skills related specifically to the entertainment industry as possible. Between the entertainment-specific classes, entertainment professional club, alumni network, and experiential learning opportunities like attending the Cannes Film Festival, I knew Stern was the perfect fit for me."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "The biggest lesson I learned is the importance of taking time to get to know the people around you. Whether it be in a class, an internship, or an extracurricular activity, people are at the core of everything you do in business. Getting to know your peers rewards you with lifelong friends and the ability to work more smoothly in a team. At the same time, I learned the importance of surrounding myself with people who consistently challenge me and make me think."
 

Excerpt from Business Insider -- "He said the skill set and experience of the employee using the AI is what really matters, not how people are simply prompting the model.
