Aside from your classmates, what was the key part of MIT Sloan’s MBA programming that led you to choose this business school and why was it so important to you? Since I was a kid, I was drawn to technology, and MIT was always the gold standard. As I got older and met people in the tech world, they often had one thing in common: they studied at MIT, especially at Sloan. They were sharp, curious, humble, and driven people. I knew I wanted to be part of that ecosystem. Being at the world’s leading hub for innovation, surrounded by the people shaping what’s next, that’s exactly where I want to be.

Action Learning Labs are one of MIT Sloan’s biggest attractions. Which lab interests you most? How does it fit with your interests? The Entrepreneurship & Innovation (E+I) certificate stood out right away. I wasn’t just looking to learn about startups; I wanted to be surrounded by people who’ve built them, failed, rebuilt, and stayed hungry. That’s why E+I excites me most. It’s a chance to roll up my sleeves, work alongside real founders, and help solve real startup challenges. MIT Sloan doesn’t just teach entrepreneurship, it lives it. That energy is what pulled me in.

When you think of MIT, what are the first things that come to mind? How have your experiences with the Sloan program thus far reinforced or upended these early impressions? I used to think “MIT” meant robots and genius-level code. Now, I realize it’s about people who care deeply about real-world impact, lifting others up, and solving big problems with heart and hustle. I’ve learned that when you join MIT, you become part of a family that supports you, listens to you, and inspires you to chase your boldest dreams.

What excites you about earning an MBA in the Boston area? Boston has this crazy mix of brains, ambition, and purpose. It’s a vibrant place where top-tier universities, cutting-edge research, and real-world innovation all collide. Between MIT, Harvard, and the hundreds of startups and research centers nearby, you feel like you’re constantly surrounded by people solving meaningful problems—in tech, health care, climate, and more. Honestly, every coffee shop feels like it could turn into your next big brainstorm session. And on top of all that … I can’t wait to finally catch a Celtics game at TD Garden.

What is your unique quality that will enable you to make a big contribution to the Class of 2027? I think my unique quality is that I know how to connect the dots—between people, ideas, and technology. With a strong background in AI, I bring technical expertise but also know how to make complex things feel simple and useful. I’m a people person who loves to bring others in, share ideas, and help move things forward. I dream big, and I’m not afraid to go after things that seem out of reach, but at the same time, I try to support the people around me and lift their energy.

Describe your biggest accomplishment in your career so far: At Nvidia, I’ve had the chance to work on many exciting and meaningful projects—helping both enterprises and startups bring AI into their products in ways that actually improve lives. One project that stands out the most is helping one of the largest and most advanced hospitals in Israel move toward becoming a truly AI-driven hospital. While the work is still ongoing, I was one of the people shaping the overall strategy, designing the architecture, and helping implement a major AI system. The project brought together experts from health care, data science, and engineering – all working to improve how patients are diagnosed and treated using real-time data and AI insights. Being part of something that could meaningfully improve care for thousands of people—that’s the kind of work that drives me.

What advice would you give to help potential applicants gain admission into MIT Sloan’s MBA program? MIT Sloan isn’t looking for perfect resumes; it’s looking for people who are dreaming, learning, and doing. Show what truly matters to you, why you care about it, and how you’ve already started turning your ideas into action. And most importantly, enjoy the process. You’ll learn a lot about yourself along the way.
