Thrilled to be featured in Dean James' post for #IWD2024! Our team hosted a conference bringing together women and allies for a day of community and conversation. A highlight of my experience at @Wharton has been learning with a cohort of exceptional women in leadership! 🚀
This #IWD2024, I’m especially proud of the work @Wharton is doing to empower women, including the Wharton Women in Investing Conference.
This year’s conference featured distinguished speakers discussing topics like female leadership, investing across strategies, ESG, and more.

I’m so happy to share that yesterday was my first day in the MBA program at @Wharton! I’ve been in Philadelphia since last week and it still hasn’t sunk in. I’m humbled to contribute to my family’s legacy as the first to attend an Ivy League school.

I know that this wouldn’t have been possible without the support of so many people. I am so grateful to my family for their support through the application process, and I know I wouldn’t be here without my recommenders Alistair Mitchell, Luke McCormick, and @blakeHcaldwell.
