Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "As I go into my final semester here at NYU, I have to say that I agree with all the advice and reflections made by these recent graduates. However, I would like to add one piece of advice: do not rush. That may seem very vague, but as my time at Stern comes to an end, I realize there are so many opportunities I said no to or didn’t explore because I thought it was a 'waste of time.' Make the most of the four years you have and don’t feel pressure from your peers or family to do something that won’t make you happy in the long-run."

Excerpt from The New York Times -- "One of the main projects I worked on was to evaluate how we market Cooking advertisements to our clients. I had to understand how Cooking was being talked about on the consumer side and the business side. This project gave me the flexibility to explore the narrative around a media product, like Cooking, and how it differs depending on the target stakeholder. I was able to talk to several employees on the product, marketing, branding, tech and advertising side of Cooking — it was like a small start-up within The Times."

Excerpt from Global Finance -- "To help companies prepare for the possibility of a trade war, we’ve done some historical analysis. One of the key lessons was that trade may plummet but it will not perish. Companies need to be ready for a sudden disruption to supply chains or market access; but since trade does not dry up entirely during a trade war, they still need to pay close attention to international opportunities and threats."
