Why did you choose Smeal: I think the admissions team did a fantastic job in making me feel that they wanted me to be successful even before I entered the portals of Smeal. The Alumni base of Penn State also contributed to my decision to be at Smeal apart from the distinguished faculty and small class size which meant it fostered a more collaborative environment. I wanted to be in a program that I could give to as much as take from it and Smeal has lived up to that expectation very well.

What has been your favorite Smeal MBA memory thus far: Michael Ryan Philips memorial scholarship nomination – I felt honored and it was a great validation that my peers valued my contributions in this program.
