As a student, where was your favorite spot to spend time at Stern? As a part-time MBA student, I spent a lot of my time in Sosnoff Lounge, grabbing a bite to eat before heading to class. What is your favorite musical genre? Pop! My 4-year-old daughter and I adore Katy Perry! Are you a dog or cat person? Neither. Although I grew up with a family cat, I don’t consider myself an animal person. What is your favorite memory from your time at Stern? Meeting so many smart people and having the opportunity to learn something new every time I entered the classroom. Working in finance and accounting during the day could get repetitive, so I always looked forward to class time and the opportunity to explore something new. Why do you choose to stay engaged with Stern as an alumnus? I always wanted to go to Stern for my MBA and the degree really helped propel my career, which I am grateful for. I have also always been passionate about promoting advancement in business for women, and Stern is doing great work in this area through the Stern Women in Business (SWIB) network. I enjoy participating in the SWIB alumnae committee and giving back to Stern. What quote most inspires you? “Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.” |
