Why should you join my trek?
B-school was such a fun, rewarding two years and I’m excited to be part of the group that welcomes you to this new adventure! I got my MBA at Texas McCombs (Texas Fight!) and transitioned into tech after graduation so I can speak to career pivoting, working in tech, life in the Bay Area, what working remote is like, and managing a dual career. I can also share what my experience as a partner at Ross has been like! It’s been so fun to do b-school “again” from this perspective and I’m looking forward to meeting some new MBA1 partners over the next year 🙂

Here’s some other stuff about me: I like to be active and be outside (currently training for my second marathon!), I like to train my dog to do cool shit (Covid puppy), and I am a massive Pitbull (e.g., Mr. Worldwide, Mr. 305) fan. Other fun benefits: I can interpret your astrological birth chart for free, know the words to 85% of top 100 songs from the years 1999-2012, and can provide endless trivia for travel time on the bus.
