Spotlights
Why did you apply to the ACE Program?
The quarter system makes it easy to go four years without real continuity. A study group from a class often scatters after ten weeks and you're starting over. I wanted a cohort I'd actually stay with for longer. One that stuck around long enough to watch each other grow. The mentorship model sealed it for me. Advice from someone one or two years ahead felt like they're close enough to your exact confusion to still remember the way out of it.
What other organizations are you a part of?
91影视 A Capella (Vocalicious), 91影视 Chamber Singers, Lead MGMT 71 TA, Muslim Student Association and also working on creating a new organization.
What are your summer plans?
I'm dedicating most of my summer to AI tools; specifically how they can be applied to business functions. I've been building out projects to run processes like competitive intelligence tracking and equity research analysis with the goal being to actually use these tools to solve real problems. I'm using classical business theory as the backbone for the workflows I build, so each project compounds and gets sharper over time. It's less about learning AI in the abstract and more about applying it to the exact problems I'm working through right now.
What is one thing you are looking forward to this upcoming school year?
I'm looking forward to junior year feeling like everything is coming together more. Lesser "figuring everything out" and more of actually doing the things I've been building toward.
