Why did you join Honors in Business Association?
I joined the Honors in Business Association because I wanted to meet other honors students in my major and in the School of Business. In addition, I was excited to learn more about different companies through speaker sessions and on-site visits, while networking with business professionals. I encourage all students who are interested in business to attend at least one HiBA meeting or event!
What else are you involved in on campus besides HiBA?
Besides being a member of HiBA, I am the President of the UConn Outing Club, a coordinator for the Honors Initiative for Prospective Students (HIPS), and part of the UConn Club Field Hockey team. My latest project is starting the NextGenVest UConn club, which aims to provide college and high school students with higher access to personal finance knowledge and gives tips on how to be smart with their money!
What do you enjoy most about UConn?
One of the highlights of being a Husky is the ability to be involved in so many organizations. Although it may sound cheesy, there is actually a club for any type of person or interest! That versatility has allowed me to hike or play field hockey one week, then attend a business conference the next. I love being able to explore all my passions and am grateful for the resources UConn provides!
What are your career aspirations?
In the future, I would like to work either in the field of healthcare administration or in a role that combines healthcare and technology. Depending on my career needs, I would also pursue a M.S. in Healthcare Administration or Public Health.
Previous internships
This summer, I was an Operations Intern in the International Division of Aetna with a focus on process improvement and reporting metrics. It was a fantastic experience, as I was able to learn about both the insurance side of healthcare, as well as the many careers in the industry. In the past, I was a Marketing Intern at iDevices, a app-enablement company where I developed social media content for their various products.
