Career goals My particular area of specialization is in Sustainability and Marketing – I’d like to help corporations make the world a greener and more responsible place. Businesses have to do their part to ensure the future is bright for everyone – it’s in their best interest, as well as the world’s. Many companies want to do the right thing, especially when you can show them that it’s good business, and many just need someone to lead the way and show them opportunities to do well and do good.
Most memorable experience at Drucker Accessibility is amazing here. I was initially impressed that the Dean came to an information session in the summer, and I have found that he and the other administration and faculty have been so happy to be in contact with the students. It is easy to be as engaged as you want to be, no one is closing their doors to the students.
The other thing that strikes me as unique about Drucker is the camaraderie between students – no one wants anyone else to fail, and people work together to succeed.

Experience in the classroom Everyone’s experience in the classroom is different – people click with different faculty members, different projects, different groups. I really enjoyed my Operations project, other people found more value in the Organizational Behavior company culture project.
How Drucker prepares me for real-life success The most important thing we learn, I think, is how to work with and value different people. However, the hard skills are just as important and they bring the most value to my previous experience.
Favorite spot in Claremont There’s so much great hiking nearby! In town I am a regular patron of Viva Madrid – hidden, but fabulous. And L.A. is a drive, but not a bad one – plenty of people commute.
As Peter Drucker asked,
What do you want to be remembered for?
I want to be remembered at Drucker as someone that pushed the school forward. Along with another student, I’ve been working on adding more sustainability-focused courses to the offerings. It’s been a great process, and because of the school’s deeply held value that business should be socially responsible, people have been eager to get on board. This carries on to what I want to be remembered for professionally as well. I want to open doors to doing the right thing, in the right way.
