Engineering Sciences, minor in Astronomy, Dartmouth College (Hanover, NH)
Systems Engineering Intern, Honeywell Aerospace (Clearwater, FL)
Systems Engineering Intern, GEOST, a Rocket Lab Company (Tucson, AZ)
While I was working as an intern at GEOST, the company experienced financial difficulties and underwent restructuring. Without warning, they fired ~25% of the company, including my entire engineering team and all of my bosses. Watching the aftermath of this process—struggles with severance, health insurance, labor laws, looking for new positions, and the complete devastation this process brought on my friends—led me to critical leadership and business questions. What did my bosses’ bosses do to try to prevent this? How could my team have seen this coming? Why did management fire these employees in particular? Where was the company going next? If I were a company leader, how would I have handled this situation differently—or better? As I sat with these questions, I realized I want more from my career than pure engineering. I want to interface between engineers and non-engineers. I want to manage. I want to lead. And I want to be good at it. From there, it was only logical to apply to Dartmouth's MEM program. For the last four years of my undergraduate studies, Dartmouth and Thayer have empowered me. The interdisciplinary ethos, supportive culture, experiential learning style, and strong community in Hanover have helped me grow into an engineer and a person I am proud of. I look forward becoming the best leader possible in the MEM program.

MEM Student Council Vice President, Diversity & Inclusion
Kolkata, West Bengal (India)
Electrical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Surat (Surat, India)
I chose the Dartmouth MEM program because it felt like the perfect fit, not just academically, but personally too. The small class size really stood out to me. I wanted to be part of a close-knit, collaborative community where I could actually get to know my classmates and professors. I was also drawn to how well the program blends engineering, business, and leadership, which aligns with my career goals in consulting and product management. On top of that, the alumni network is incredibly strong and supportive, and I knew being part of that community would open doors and provide mentorship as I grow in my career.

The inclusivity of disciplines and perspectives at Dartmouth appeals to me as an interdisciplinary learner. The structured curriculum spanning across schools, combined with the internship requirement, creates a holistic foundation essential for today's dynamic business landscape. The strong alumni and faculty network promises a close-knit community of like- minded individuals. Fellowships that address how technology and business development impact our climate future—such as the Irving Institute's Graduate Energy Fellows—align with my interests.

After an intense, fast-paced stint in core tech, I found myself at a crossroads — to stay in tech, or go into management. I thought, why not both? Dartmouth’s MEM was one of the very few programs that offered depth in both through its celebrated faculty and curriculum from both Thayer School of Engineering and Tuck School of Business.
