She was the first woman to participate in the McDonald’s Slam Dunk Contest (alongside LeBron James), and in college she played in the Final Four of the March Madness Tournament.

Tue, 06 Nov 2018 - 23min - 13 - 12 - Marjani - Sloan
Being the only woman in most of your computer science classes is tough.
The guys at Swarthmore excluded Marjani from many of their cool passion projects.
So, Marjani pivoted. She put down the keyboard and traveled the world.
Before she could finish her applications to law school, Marjani made the leap to Google's People Operations team.
And today she's a first year student at MIT Sloan, where she's hoping to make another transition...
Listen in as we dive deep into her goals of entrepreneurship, strategy, and social impact.
Thu, 25 Oct 2018 - 29min - 12 - 11 - Ashley - Kelley
Ashley is in love with New York City, and she’s determined to make the leap into a career on Wall Street in investment banking. But does a being an LGBTQ woman of color from a non-target school put her at an advantage or a disadvantage?
She certainly has a unique perspective to bring to the industry.
Wed, 19 Sep 2018 - 35min - 11 - 10 - Addie - Ross
Addie has her first Michigan Ross business school class next week on Monday morning!
And it’s been a long time coming for Addie.
She applied to Ross last year, and got denied. And back in college, Addie switched her major from nursing to journalism at the very last minute.
Also, Addie graduated during the height of The Great Recession, so instead of getting a great job in marketing or PR back in 2010, she accepted a 1-year internship at Greyhound Lines, and had to network her ass off in order to get to where she is today.

Sun, 27 May 2018 - 24min - 3 - 02 - Nick - Booth
Nick grew up in Chicago & went to college in Chicago. After his dad had a major health scare, Nick decided to only apply to business schools in Chicago.

Fortunately, a group called Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT) gave him the nudge and gave him the support that he needed to put together an unstoppable application.
