As an Associate Director at USC Marshall School of Business, I interviewed 150 students and managed admissions logistics, giving me a deep understanding of what top programs are looking for. My role at UChicago Medicine involved leading recruitment efforts for incoming PhD students, where I coordinated interviews and streamlined program data.
