Big Life Wins:

Over the summer, I left the company I was at for 3 years. I’ve been developing an independent consulting idea around talent strategy.

This is my first entrepreneurial experience and I’m excited to dive into different People-related business challenges on a flexible schedule.

Post MBA Goal:

Post-MBA I’d like to gain broader exposure to other HR disciplines, such as People Analytics, Compensation & Benefits. I’m mainly interested in the following two potential paths: either pivoting into human capital consulting at a Big4 firm, or pursuing a rotational HR Leadership Development program in Tech (my previous industry).
