Why business school? I wanted to make a significant career transition! I needed to beef up my quant and management skills to become the best brand manager and storyteller I could be.  

Best thing about Wharton?  New experiences with inspiring people 

Fun fact? I go by my initials “LV” because I was once on a soccer team with 5 other Laurens! 

What are you most excited about in your second year? Reconnecting with classmates and making the most of every opportunity 

Favorite WWIB experience so far? My first WWIB retreat…I met a group of women who were just as passionate as I was and have become some of my closest friends at Wharton
