I am a second-year graduate student at the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University. My decision to pursue Master of Engineering degree has been motivated by my ultimate objective of digging deeply into the field of Financial Engineering. I firmly believe that I possess the requisite background and aptitude for pursuing active research in this area at Cornell.

Working as the vice-president of Graduate Student Council, I arranged plenty of social events for all graduate students campus wide while maintaining a budget of more than $100,000.
