Excerpt from Poets&Quants — "In the Khubani BTE program, we participate in a capstone project in our senior year where we find a problem and create a minimum viable product (MVP) for a solution we devise. The project is the culmination of all the work we have put in as entrepreneurs throughout our time in Stern’s BTE program. I am incredibly proud of the product my partner and I created. I believe we found a real opportunity to make work more fun and efficient that is worth pursuing further. Starting an entrepreneurial project takes a lot of time, effort, and comfort with uncertainty and I feel that I have grown significantly through the experience."

Excerpt from Poets&Quants — "The importance of mentorship. Beginning in my first week at NYU, I witnessed the deep-rooted practice of Stern upperclassmen giving back by speaking to new students and sharing their experiences.

I’ve benefited enormously from these conversations and strived to contribute to the Stern community as an upperclassmen orientation leader and peer mentor."
