“One of the reasons I chose Olin is because of the values held sacrosanct by the institution, and I believe I am an embodiment of every single one of these values. For me, having integrity and strong moral principles is non-negotiable; however, of utmost importance is understanding that a diverse class (such as my current cohort) compromised of individuals with sometimes opposing principles brings new meaning to collaboration. I have learned to work with teams of diverse individuals, building leadership skills while delivering excellent results on all tasks. Having firsthand experience working with teams, I am better equipped to identify students with similar values by their experience, interpersonal relations, confidence and enthusiasm.”
