What was your favorite memory from your first year?
One of my favorite memories from my first year was organizing the Yale Women's Leadership Conference, which focused on empowering women to take bold leaps in their professional and personal lives. It was such an incredible experience to help bring the event to life and meet inspiring leaders like Joanne Lipman, former USA Today Editor-in-Chief, and Maria Teresa Arnal, former CEO of Google Mexico. Definitely a highlight of my time at SOM!
