What are 1-2 of your most significant academic/extracurricular/work experiences? I took two gap years that ended up shaping my path in a pretty big way. Right after high school, I spent a year working on different film sets. This experience actually led me to choose my major in college. Then, after graduation, I joined a small corporation where I ran a project selling sanitary products on TikTok. It just started, and I was there every step of the way as it grew from nothing into something real. Being part of that whole zero-to-one journey got me excited about building my own brand someday. That is also one of the reasons I decided to apply to this program.
