Alumni Leadership
Nimisha Shinday, ‘18 graduate of the Brandeis IBS Accelerated MA program, was one of the first to graduate from the program. She’s currently working as a Strategy Consulting Senior Analyst at Accenture. Shinday’s education and work with area startups and her role on the board of directors for the Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs of Waltham handling data analytics and data management, has helped prepare her for her role as a strategy consulting analyst.
She has advice for those considering entering the AMA program. “It goes by very quickly, so be ready to take advantage of all the opportunities here. IBS has so much to offer students, but when you’re in a program for one year, it’s easy to miss out. Be hungry for that extra experience you can get out of it—not just a degree, but the cool little perks of being an IBS student.”
