Big Life Wins:

Youngest soldier in my division to be awarded the Expert Infantryman’s Badge (week long test of soldier skills both mental and physical) before spearheading no notice deployments to the middle east as well as CONUS. Additionally working towards my purple belt in Brazilian jiu jitsu which has been a long, painful, but rewarding road.

Post MBA Goal:

Ideally post-MBA, I get my foot in the door at a bulge bracket or elite boutique bank in NYC where I can play the game at the highest level. Depending on time spent there, I’d like to promote and remain in the industry just somewhere outside of the city where I can begin to start a family and slow the pace a little for that aspect of my life.
