Advice I'd give to myself a year ago: Enjoy every minute of your life because everything is about to change. Spend time with the ones you've always loved, travel to places you wouldn't ordinarily go to, reconnect with your old self, and learn how to drive (much needed)..
Ask me about: Moving from Tech to Consulting, Tech and Consulting recruitment, life as an international student, network effects (wait for MORS class to know what that is).
Why CIM Exec: Kellogg has changed my life is ways I can never truly describe or comprehend. I know I'm a very different person now than I ever was - much happier, a bit wiser (questionable), more risk taking, and more social. I wanted to give back every way I could and ensure that the incoming class had a great welcome like I got, and no better way to make that happen than via CIM.

Tell us a favorite memory or experience from your section last year:  My favorite section memory was from our section retreat in Michigan City, IN. We had a ton of fun because Bullfrogs know how to have a good time, but we also got a chance to strengthen bonds and create new ones. At the end of the retreat, everyone was assigned a person they had to describe in three words and then share a favorite memory about that individual. It was great to hear people's stories of the laughs they shared, the heartfelt conversations they had, and the way they uplifted each other during tough times.
