Play an active role in the Sloan Follies which will also give me an opportunity to showcase my dance skills

Start a MIT Sloan Chess Club as it will foster a healthy competition among my classmates Chess has helped me to think strategically and foresee consequences

This has piqued my interest in Game Theory. I look forward to discussing more about it with Prof. Andreas Schulz

This will enable me to analyze risk and reward and forecast all possible scenarios for startups as part of the Entrepreneurship Lab

Offer a global and diverse perspective. Learn more about other cultures and further bond with my classmates during Spring Trips and Action Learning Labs

An innovative and intellectually curios mindset which will help me ask questions, challenge assumptions and delve deep into solving problems

Bring strong quantitative skills which I will use to help my classmates develop their analytical abilities

What Can I bring to the MIT Sloan Community?
