One of my favorite projects had to be my report on the MEA and MgO Carbon Capture

Processes. Here, I worked with a couple of classmates to study the cost, benefit, and

effectiveness of MEA-based versus MgO-based carbon capture, from varying perspectives. For example, we implemented a net present value (NPV) model and sequential NPV sensitive analysis to tackle the issue from a cost benefit perspective. Furthermore, we also employed the Aspen model to forecast the performance of the two different carbon capture processes. I thoroughly enjoyed testing my classroom knowledge, as well leading my fellow teammates to ultimately succeed in our endeavor. However, what I appreciated most was the opportunity I had to dissect and study an issue as important as the removal of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

Beyond my experiences on campus, I also had the opportunity to test my abilities and knowledge in the professional setting, at multiple positions in the private sector. Currently, I am working as a Facilities and EHS Intern at Alta Devices, a world leader and record holder in the solar industry. I was fortunate to take on various high exposure responsibilities such working with internal data to calculate the company’s pollutants in each product line, ultimately helping management and the company to stay within EPA regulations. Furthermore, I coordinated amongst internal factory and production departments, as well as external bodies such as the Ministry of Health and Safety to implement various safety protocols and procedures. Through my efforts, I was able to contribute to Alta’s company goal of bringing continued sustainability to our world through the use of solar power.

My story can only start after I first take a few steps backwards. When I first stepped onto University of Georgia’s campus, I had very little idea of what I wanted to learn. I took on an eclectic sort of classes from Chemistry to Physics to History with very mixed results. Finally, I was able to gain some traction of interest after taking mathematics and Japanese classes. I liked the logic of mathematics but was uncertainty due to the vague and abstract nature of the subject. I loved my Japanese class, but wanted to ultimately major in a field that was less traditional and more innovative in application. Things started to illuminate when I took the introductory class to computer programming. Immediately, the course struck a chord with me. I was able to apply logic and reasoning to a language based class that had ever-growing worldly applications. I became hooked. As I progressed through my undergraduate years, I started learning computing and programming with unmatched fervor. I earned top grades in classes such as Systems Programming, Introduction to Theory of Computing, Software Development, and Software Engineering, just to name a few. My resulting efforts helped me achieve presidential scholar and dean’s list honors for multiple semesters.

I continued to build upon my understanding of this field through complex academic projects. One of those that I am most proud of occurred during my Direct Study course. Specifically for this project, we were given total discretion to create an application in any language. My professor suggested an Android app as that was her expertise. However, as an iPhone user, I wanted to create an iOS application to beautify and improve images. To do so, I had to learn the Swift language and also become acclimated with the Xcode environment. I faced a number of challenges, as the Xcode environment proved buggy while, learning the language on my own was also an obstacle. Through perseverance and relying on my previous knowledge base, I was able to deliver a final app product in the eleventh hour. I was proud of my app as it showed my ability to quickly learn and apply a new programming language as well as to push past initial complications.

The field of SRI has grown tremendously over these past few years; according to the U.S. Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment, one out of every six dollars under professional management is now invested according to SRI strategies. Wharton Social Impact Initiative (WSII) has contributed greatly to this cause. The recent researched report released by WSII shows that socially positive investments have returns as good as the market. However, there is still much more work to be done. My friend recently left his corporate job to move to Kenya to start SunCulture, a solar-powered water irrigation system that is 90% more efficient at delivering water to crops in a drought-filled area. The microfinance loans he received had so many unrealistic terms for borrowers that it was difficult for him to comply with. I believe there should not be this many impediments and that impact investing should be more accessible. I can foresee a future where SRI investments are as simple as 401(k) elections where instead of picking a pre-selected fund with an investment mix based on your target retirement age, people will be able to select causes they care about and put their assets where their heart is. At Wharton, I will lead my life every day with the conscious knowledge of my privilege and do my best with the resources I am given to advocate to those less privileged.

After completing my undergraduate degree in three years, I received an opportunity to work full time at an innovative startup called BrainCo_Tech, a pioneer in wearable brain machine interface. At the firm, I wore multiple hats with a main focus on marketing and product research. The company’s products were the first of its kind, implementing brainwaves for the automation of different actions ranging from daily chores to complicated procedures.

As the company’s main marketing professional, I employed a three-pronged strategy to market the firm and its products. The complexity of the technology produced unique challenges for marketing. It was imperative to distill the byzantine nature of the product into palatable pieces of understanding for various marketing mediums such as mass media press releases, industry papers, and digital advertisements. Next, I promoted brand awareness from our target market segment of highly educated youth and professionals by maintaining a strong online presence and

coordinating events at local universities such as Harvard and MIT. Lastly, I conducted focus group research to garner specific feedback and input to ensure the final product met the needs and expectations of our target audience; the research and development costs of the product were exorbitant, thus avoiding potential missteps was vital.

An additional phenomenal I witnessed through my experience is that of diversification. Being an equity investor in the fund, I have learned to be cautious and not overly optimistic. One should invest into many different projects in order to capture better risk adjusted monetary gains instead of always chasing the highest growth project with the maximum possible return. By doing so, stress can be minimized and success more likely achieved. After completing my classes in Macroeconomics and Statistics, I realized that the majority of these skills I gained are only technical and supporting skills and I am missing the most vital aspect: vision. After watching Professor Robert Frank’s lecture online, I have confirmed my belief that a strong vision cannot be taught from a textbook but must be gained through experience. I believe my needs can be fulfilled through the many research opportunities that are present for undergraduate students at Cornell. Being a research assistant and with access to PhD students and world renowned faculties is invaluable. Opportunities to learn about their projects and contribute through analytics and modeling would truly be a dream come true. Combined this with Cornell’s wide range of advance electives taught by professional adjuncts, I cannot fathom a more comprehensive environment for me to develop my own ideas and passion. Ultimately, Cornell will further my career in the banking and venture capital industry.

Simone de Beauvoir noticed that “there is something in the New York air that makes sleep useless.” The energy of the city is undeniable. The constant bustle, the ubiquitous nature of the art and culture, and the diversity in thought all contributes to every nook and cranny of the city. Sitting at the heart of the city is NYU’s integrated campus circling Washington Square Park. That is where I want to be as I progress through the rest of my undergraduate journey. I have developed a passion for the fashion industry over the course of my adolescent life. The creativity and individualism that define the nature of the fashion industry, is what I find so compelling. Specifically, I want to apply those characteristics to the field of fashion media and communications as it merges my passion with my known abilities in communications. NYU is perfectly designed for this purpose. The school offers a tantalizing amount of flexibility in terms of limitless study options for its students. I want to structure a concentration that focuses on a mix of marketing and branding with media and communications, through an overall tilt towards the fashion industry. This resulting concentration leverages my current foundation and interests in communication, while allowing me to choose my own destiny as I pivot towards fashion industry focused subjects in these study areas. Furthermore, New York City is renowned as a fashion capital of the world. From the trendy boutiques in SoHo and glamorous designer stores on Fifth Ave, to the gritty factories in the Garment District, the fashion industry is an integral part of the city.
