As a former Oracle software engineer, what inspired you to pursue your master's degree in business analytics (MSBA)?
I realized I wanted to understand the other side of the problems I had spent my career solving. I loved building technology, but I became just as curious about the questions behind it: What should we build, why does it matter, and how can data help people make better decisions? The MSBA felt like the perfect bridge between the two worlds I’ve grown to love—technology and business.
What is something your classmates might be surprised to learn about you?
A fun fact: During high school, I trained in kickboxing and competed in cycle polo at the state level. These days, I’ve traded some of that intensity for Vinyasa yoga and hiking.
