M is for Multitasking, Motherhood and MBA. Year 1 of my MBA journey is officially done. Here’s a picture of how I took my very last final this semester. My little guy wasn’t much help with answering finance problems, even though he did attend all of my classes with me, in-utero. :)
A NY Times article reports on a much-debated topic in the working-mother realm, and now the presidential race.

I think I was accepted to Wharton because of my non-traditional profile. B-schools like to build a diverse class that includes a variety of skill sets and perspectives. It probably helped that I have non-profit and marketing experience, instead of the traditional finance or consulting background.
As for my undergraduate education, I majored in Psychology with a concentration in Marketing. I chose NYU because of the school’s reputation and because I got a pretty nice scholarship! I also wanted access to top marketing and media internships. For me, being in the heart of NYC was critical to getting that experience.

It was such a thrill to be treated like a celebrity at the New York Stock Exchange last Friday. We ate lunch in the Executive Boardroom, took a tour of the trading floor and interacted with market makers. The most exciting part of the day was standing at the podium, as we rang The Closing Bell. Here is a picture of me and the other finalists of The Global Innovation Challenge, at The Closing Bell ceremony. Super exciting! Videos, more photos and a recap to come.
