Women at D'Amore-McKim

“On my first day, I was blown away by the variety of student backgrounds in my cohort. I benefit by asking my classmates for help and in turn, help them learn in areas where I am more comfortable and confident. Helping each other along the way has been hugely impactful for us all.” says Tarrah Price, MS in Accounting/MBA'23

“[My graduate co-op] allowed me to work within a startup while also learning to consult with larger private equity firms. I know the practical knowledge I gained through this hands-on experience will make me stronger in future consulting roles.” Says Priyanshi Shah, MS in Quantitative Finance'22

Shaan Arora, Khoury'23/DMSB'23, has created a software company that builds a loyalty program featured on small business websites.

For Amy Oh, DMSB'24, a business and psychology major, the chance to work for five months at Goldman Sachs “was a really rare opportunity I couldn't pass up.”

From the beginning of her educational journey, Katherine Kikta, DMSB'23, understood the value a business degree can provide in terms of financial security. But it wasn't until she found the Northeastern Army ROTC program that the world of possibility began to cleave open.

“For my graduate co-op, I worked in the finance department at CooperCompanies for six months. This experience helped me further develop my financial analysis and reporting skills while establishing a network that will be useful in my future career.” Says Khushbu Dudani, MS in Quantitative Finance'22

The Summit—the biggest event of the year for WISE—aims to provide students at Northeastern and in the Greater Boston area an opportunity to connect with a diverse group of female and non-binary business founders and entrepreneurs. The theme this year is “Created by Courage.”

“For my graduate co-op, I worked as a private equity intern assisting with due diligence. Each day, I connected with investment bankers to source deals. I was included in projects from start to finish. This complete immersion and hands-on learning experience reinforced my desire to work in private equity.” Says Saneel Jhaveri, MS in Quantitative Finance'22
