Could you share a fun fact about yourself? What’s something unexpected about you?

I am a black belt holder of Taekwondo.

Tell us why you decided to pursue the MBA, and in particular, the INSEAD MBA? 

I decided to pursue an MBA partly to fulfil my childhood dream of higher education.

I chose INSEAD because of the diversity which is having a huge impact on my perspectives of the world, as well as the multi-campus experience and its brand reputation. 

Can you share your thoughts about the class experience, professors, the curriculum so far? Have you joined any clubs, taken ownership of or participated in any interesting initiatives? 

The professors are amazing. They always find creative ways to engage us in various activities. There are also surprise rewards that motivate us to participate and be active in class. Since classes are very interactive, we get to view diverse perspectives of a given problem and diverse dimensions to the solutions. Moreover, the curriculum is neither too straightforward to make us feel bored nor too difficult to make us feel like we are failing.  

I have joined the Entrepreneurship and FinTech Clubs. I have also signed up for the Robinhood Campaign.

What are you most looking forward to during your time on the programme? 

Making lifelong friends, growing a wide network, having a once-in-a lifetime experience, expanding my knowledge.

Any tips for those who are considering an INSEAD MBA? 

Be mentally prepared to face the intensity of the programme as it is very intense, so that you can enjoy your experience and have fun as well.

Parting words of wisdom?

Make the best use of your time, focusing on whatever your main goals are.
