My journey as a Fellow of the Private Equity Program at Columbia Business School has been the highlight of my MBA, combining a rigorous curriculum with hands-on experience through the PE Field Study. The program gave me countless opportunities to engage with industry leaders through events such as the breakfast series, company visits, guest lectures, and the PE Club Trek to London, among many others. Serving as VP of International Careers on the Private Equity Club also gave me the chance to grow my network while helping expand global opportunities for fellow students.
