Undergraduate: BS, chemical engineering

Previous employer: Procter & Gamble, product development manager, Cincinnati and Beijing

Summer internship: Target Corp.

While working in China, I experienced firsthand the challenges of building a multinational business. I discovered an added level of complexity between local managers and U.S. colleagues based solely on cultural differences. It was a wake-up call: leaders need to comprehend organizations in human terms. My first encounter with Tuck convinced me they understood this too.

It was clear right away that Tuck comprehended who I was—my situation, my aspirations. The interviewer explained what Tuck offered me and then talked about what I could offer my classmates.

This was exactly what I wanted in a business school—a relentless focus on individuals committed to developing their communities and, ultimately, the world. I can't express the difference Tuck has already made in my life.
