How has UCLA Anderson supported your professional and personal goals?
Anderson has supported me by providing me with a network of intelligent and ambitious people who are more than willing to help me reach my goals. My classmates and Anderson alumni have helped me with interview questions, shared industry knowledge, and cheered me on as I look for roles.
How has the UCLA Anderson experience developed your leadership skills?
Being a leader for two clubs—Black Business Student Association and Entertainment Management Association—has pushed me to make decisions for the good of entire organizations. The leadership roles have helped me gain experience with putting others’ needs before my own.
What is a memorable experience or highlight of your time at UCLA Anderson?
A highlight has been seeing and interacting with amazing guest speakers in entertainment classes. I have heard from high-profile producers, such as Jerry Bruckheimer, and marketing executives at studios, such as A24 and Universal. As an entertainment-lover, it has been rewarding to hear from these industry decision-makers.
