MSSM, 2027

This is how to say my name:

 

Why MSSM?

I chose the MSSM program because it combines technology, product strategy, and leadership in a way that aligns with my career goals. Through my experiences in AI research and product management internships, I realized that building impactful products requires not only technical understanding but also strong business and management skills. CMU's Silicon Valley location, industry-focused curriculum, and close connections with leading technology companies make it the ideal environment for me to grow into a product leader in the AI industry.

Education

University of Washington-Seattle, Applied Mathematics - Data Sciences

What type of role are you looking to obtain after you graduate?

After graduation, I hope to work as an AI Product Manager or Technical Product Manager at a technology company where I can build AI-powered products that solve real user problems. My long-term goal is to bridge engineering, design, and business by translating emerging technologies into products with meaningful impact. I am particularly interested in generative AI, productivity tools, and human-centered AI applications, and I hope to contribute to products that improve how people learn, collaborate, and communicate while continuing to grow as a product leader.
