Candidate:

Mr. Wellness Ethnographer

About Me:

I hold an undergraduate degree in the social sciences and a biomedical graduate degree. I’ve applied my technical and social science background to data analytics, technical writing and user research. I work primarily within the wellness industry where I evaluate modalities of self-care and medicine from an evidence-based perspective.
My GPA for my MS at Georgetown was abysmal – 3.03/4.00. I am curious how it would be weighted during the application process.

Big Life Wins:

I completed my MS from Georgetown with only 1 of the 8 required minimum pre-requisites. Earning a degree in biophysics and physiology without so much as ever even stepping in a high school physics or biology course was a huge achievement for me. I also developed the first primary membership analysis at a non-profit association founded in 1974.

Post MBA Goal:

Most of my work has been as an individual contributor. I primarily hope to use my MBA experience to hone my team working skills and business competency as I push towards a strategy-oriented role at the intersections of the IoT, internet, and wellness industries. As I go along my journey, I also hope to create my own business.
