Booth’s Pay-it-forward Culture
Collaboration is a cornerstone of Chicago Booth’s pay-it-forward culture. First year students receive help from second year students even before class officially starts. One example is during Random Walks, when second years lead one-week trips to destinations around the world, and start showing first years what Booth is all about. A few weeks later on campus, second years […]
My Big, Fat, Boothie Wedding
Spring Break 2016 was not your typical Spring Break… at least for me. Even though I travelled with 30 friends to a warmer, southern location, I was not going crazy every night. Instead, I got married (which may be crazy in your books!).
Becoming Don Draper
Advertising has changed dramatically since the Sterling Cooper / Mad Men days. Although there are quite a few Don Drapers out there pitching their big ideas, advertising today has evolved into a new form that amalgamates creativity with data analytics and technology. And this is the world that I will be part of after graduation.

Japan Random Walk Video!
Sushi, temples, robot shows, pagodas, baseball games, ramen, kimonos, karaoke, or sake bombs… These words could be used to describe virtually any trip to Japan, but they won’t be enough to entirely express the essence of a Booth Random Walk. No matter your destination, these pre-bschool excursions are corner stones of Chicago Booth’s tight-knit community. […]
Sympathy for the Intern: an intro post
Please allow me to introduce myself, I am a man of unconventional taste. I am not the stereotypical Boothie, I have not recruited for banking nor management consulting. I do not understand NFL’s rules and do not live in MPP. So, if you expect to learn about Wall Street networking, I am sorry to disappoint […]
My message to Class of 2017
The Fall Quarter is over. A quarter during which I enjoyed a Random Walk to China, filled a whole apartment with IKEA furniture, played soccer at the UCLA MBA tournament, won the ‘Hunger Games’ at LEAD, had enough Fireballs at TNDC to keep me warm throughout winter, dressed up as Popeye for the Belgian Halloween […]
