Q. Why did you decide to attend UCLA Anderson -- #whyAnderson?
A. I decided to join Anderson because of their focus on sharing success. Every person you speak with not only wants to help or is excited to be learning from Anderson, but also is extremely talented and bright. Another extraordinary aspect of Anderson is the resources they give for you to have your dream career, whether it is the top ranked Parker Career Management Center or the amazing student-led organizations.
Q. What are you most excited about at UCLA Anderson?
A. One of the things I am most excited for at Anderson are the international travel opportunities, whether this is through the AMR project or from our own student-led travels during a break ( I have heard about a spectacular Japan trip with students). I am also very excited for industry-focused classes such as Entertainment Marketing and Strategy Management in Entertainment.
Q. What are some UCLA Anderson clubs you're interested in joining?
A. Women in Business Connection, Entertainment Management Association, Challenge for Charity, and Marketing Association.
Q. What is one thing you hope to accomplish by the end of your 1st year at Anderson?
A. I hope to obtain a leadership position in the student body in my 1st year at Anderson -- I want to get involved and help to lead the community.
Q. What is a fun and/or interesting fact about yourself?
A. I love to dance! My sister and I have done Bollywood dance in competitions, at our friends' weddings, and in parties! I'm always interested in learning more in dance. I have taken classes in Ballet, Modern, and Tango!
Q. What is a piece of advice you have for prospective business school applicants?
A. Have a clear sense of what you want to do, and then why you want to go to the prospective school. With so many things that you can do, narrowing down things that are important to you are key.
