Could you share a little about why you decided to pursue the MBA, and in particular, the INSEAD MBA?

I had a desire to get into social impact consulting. INSEAD was the perfect choice due it being a one-year programme, its international presence, and its post-graduation consulting placement stats.

Can you share your thoughts about the class experience, professors, the curriculum so far?

The programme is rigorous but fulfilling at the same time! The professors are super knowledgeable on the topics and their accolades speak for themselves.

Where are you located and what are you most looking forward to during your time on the programme?

I'm currently in Fontainebleau. I look forward to continuing to meet other MBA candidates in the programme and making genuine friendships!

Have you learned any important lessons so far from MBA experience that have been especially useful?

Balance: given it’s a only a year-long programme, it can be tough to balance all of the competing priorities. I need to remind myself to make time for myself.

Be true to yourself: with so many career options and perspectives, it can be easy to lose sight of why you came to INSEAD. 

Any tips for those who are considering an INSEAD MBA?

Find your ‘why’. It might seem a little cliché, but knowing this will greatly facilitate the application process.
