What about the Rice MBA program has surprised you the most?
I was surprised at how each of my classmates are so helpful if you have questions or want to discuss an idea in more detail.

What has been your favorite moment of your Rice MBA experience so far?
My favorite MBA moment was when I went on a group Ski trip with my classmates. This program has been an amazing experience. I love meeting so many bright minds in the same place.

What is your favorite thing about and/or favorite spot in Houston?
Arboretum (Memorial Park). I love the hidden trails. I feel like I am outside of the city.

In a sentence, what is the one piece of advice you have for prospective students?
Everyone you meet has something to teach you.
