Competency Goal Application

I have demonstrated my commitment to Anderson’s core principles by using every professional position, connection, and challenge that I have faced as an opportunity to focus on growth. I am driven both by my desire to make a meaningful change while professionally progressing. In my current client-facing role, my success is directly linked to the measurable impact I can make to a client’s overall portfolio. However, I also take each client interaction as an opportunity to enhance my communication and strategic planning skills. I share my knowledge with my broader team to help others improve their clients’ performances and was recognized for these efforts by senior management, which led to my early promotion to my current position as an Associate.

As I said my goodbyes on my last day of the Orphanage Project in Guatemala, I watched tears run down the children’s faces. I was touched by the positive impact I made by applying limited resources directly to those that needed them the most. This experience set a pattern in my life to help others and to serve my community. Whether it is serving soul-pleasing food to the hungry people of San Francisco or delivering burritos to the homeless, these rich experiences will help me bring a spirit of collaboration and community engagement to my classmates at Anderson.

Upon graduation, I seek to join a global consumer products company such as Nestle or Mattel as an Associate Brand Manager. I hope to later become a Senior Brand Manager and lead an ambitious global marketing team to increase market share by elevating brand awareness and consumer engagement. My ultimate goal is to become Chief Marketing Officer of a premier consumer product organization, where I will oversee all aspects of marketing

As a “people” person, working in teams comes naturally to me. I spoke to former Anderson MBA 2006 Kabir Bhatia, who assured me that Anderson’s collaborative close-knit community shines both in and outside of the classroom. I am excited about taking an active role in Challenge for Charity, and I intend to be part of a global pro-social Applied Management Research project that will make an impact on humanitarian efforts similar to my project in Guatemala. This experience will allow me to display my business insight in an area I am passionate about while driving change in underdeveloped
