Experience: My internship as a journalist in my sophomore year. I was responsible for covering events and conducting interviews with different sources. This experience sparked my interest in how media content is produced and consumed
Ideal role in 10 years: I want a role that is dynamic and never routine—something that keeps me learning and adapting every day. I hope to work in international media production or content strategy. I don’t want a desk-bound job; I want a career that feels like an ongoing adventure
What led you to enroll in the MSLCE program at Northwestern University?
I chose MSLCE because I have creative instincts but lack formal business training. The program’s courses on creative enterprises and its site visits to major media companies felt like the perfect fit to grow my career.
What aspect of the MSLCE program are you most excited to experience? (i.e. specific class, site visit, IDEA fund, internship, etc.)
I’m most excited about the IDEA Fund.
What would you most like to win?
I would most like to win a sense of inner peace, freedom, and meaningful experiences—not fame, money, or conventional success. To me, true winning is having the courage to live life on my own terms, to explore the world with curiosity, and to feel fulfilled by the journey itself rather than external validation.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I wouldn’t choose just one place. I’d want to move every few months.
If you could donate one million dollars, which cause/organization would you choose to support?
Such as an international NGO working to protect civilians in war zones or to provide humanitarian aid to refugees. I believe that peace is the foundation for everything else, including creative expression.
Which leader or influential figure inspires you the most and why?
Jane Goodall. She proves that one person with deep curiosity and persistence can make a global impact.
