What are your hobbies? I am a big foodie. I love great tasting food and wine from all around the world. I enjoy going to live concerts or sporting events. Staying active is great for the mind and health, so I try to do something active every day as well. Last but not least, I really enjoy peace and quiet. I have my best thoughts when it’s quiet.
Are you in any student organizations? I’m hyper involved in entrepreneur, founders, & startup community in Philadelphia
What’s your favorite part of Drexel? Their vision and ambition to be one of the top schools in the country. They invest and believe in themselves, and as an entrepreneur, I LOVE that about Drexel. They are entrepreneurs and risk takers themselves.
Why did you choose Drexel? I had never heard of Drexel until my high school girlfriend got a tennis scholarship offer from them. So I began to research about the school, and visited here, and I really felt like it was a great fit. It was a start-up of its own. It was well established in many ways, but their business school was on the rise, and I wanted to contribute to that rise, so I chose Drexel over other schools I was looking at on the East Coast to study Business.
What is the best moment you’ve had here? Since I transferred here as a sophomore, it’s been one big great moment!
What impact has Drexel had on you? Drexel changed my life. I’ve always trusted my instincts. Whatever my instincts tell me, I do. My instincts were telling me to leave my life in California, and to head  [to the] east coast. So I did. I applied to Drexel, Boston College, Temple, UPenn, and Duke, and Drexel offered me the most money, so I committed! Drexel will always hold a special place in my heart. I am a proud Dragon for life.
What do you want to do when you graduate? I will return home to Los Angeles. I have committed to a full-time business consulting position with KPMG International in downtown L.A. That will be my 9-5, but I plan to create cool things, and relax on the beach with the rest of my hours in the day.
