Mentor Details:   Hello! I am in my first year at Haas School of Business pursuing a dual MBA / MPH. I am originally from the Bay Area. I studied International Economics as an undergrad and played #1 singles on Georgetown's D-1 Tennis team. At Georgetown, I was also involved in the Jewish student association and interfaith dialogue groups as well as being a peer mentor and economics TA. I love travelling and had awesome study abroad experiences in the Dominican Republic and Hungary. During college, I mainly worked in the NGO space, in roles including advocacy, research, and analysis. After college I worked at a middle-market investment bank in Miami for two years, focusing mainly on healthcare and technology. I then transferred to the company's San Francisco office and spent another 1.5 years as an Associate in technology and clean technology banking . I am now enrolled in the dual MBA / MPH program and interested in pursuing a career in biotech or global health strategy / finance.
