I am currently a second year student originally from Karachi, Pakistan. I moved to the US when I was 18 to begin my undergrad education at the University of Virginia . I graduated with a double major in Psychology and Economics, but, because I am a bit of a car fanatic, I started my career at General Motors. In the four years I spent at the company prior to B-school, I worked in a variety of functions ranging from manufacturing and marketing to business development and strategy.
I chose to return to business school to switch careers and begin a career in investment banking with a focus on the auto industry. Cornell was an easy choice given its strength in the banking career track, its collaborative nature and smaller size. My first year was simply amazing and I am looking forward to a similar second year experience.
