Excerpt from Poets&Quants — "Coming back to school, I knew I wanted to dive deeper into the world of Media and Entertainment. Movies, music and sports have always been personal passions, but more and more I found myself looking for ways to integrate them into my career. This made Stern a no-brainer. World class professors, groundbreaking courses, and a specialization dedicated specifically to Entertainment, Media, and Technology – all in the heart of the business capital of the world. I mean what more could you ask for?"

Excerpt from Poets&Quants — "I chose Stern because it provides me with the best environment to discover and elevate who I am as a leader. Stern has a warm environment where I am supported in pursuing my unique dreams. For example, in a Leadership Fellows class (and many other leadership classes), my classmates are kind and honest to reflect with me on my strengths and build skills to strengthen areas for development. The same holds true with my classmates in the Stern Technology Association. There are many aspects of Stern that are wonderful, but I’m most proud to build my confidence in being a leader in the business world because of my Stern education."

Excerpt from Elite Daily — “I knew NYU had such a diverse group of students, and I wanted to learn from different perspectives. I didn’t want to be in an echo chamber. I’ve learned so much from my peers. I’ll be like, ‘Do you like this design?’ or ‘Do you like this color?’

At NYU, I could also add courses to my core classes that I’m actually interested in, and that blew my mind.”
