Leader of the Month 300x300.jpg

Class of 2019

Priya Gupta - An unsung hero of our program. She always makes time to help others and manages to be an awesome teammate while being a phenomenal mom. We have the utmost respect for her and cherish what she adds to Foster.

Class of 2020

James Wolpert puts himself out there by asking others to connect emotionally in a positive way. He recently started a gratitude wall on Slack to help all use gratitude as a method for working through a difficult quarter. Smart (IQ and EQ) move. Kudos!

#tuesdaytakeover #askmeanything Hi everyone! My name is Ruchi (@ruchi.grewal) and I’m a first year MBA student at Foster. I was born in India and grew up in Singapore. Prior to b-school, I worked for a legal-tech startup in NYC which I sold before coming to Foster. Before that, I spent 5 years working in finance - a stint in investment banking, followed by some time in sell-side research. I love being around people, and most days you’ll find me chatting with my classmates in Paccar or walking to the ‘Ave’ to find a new lunch or coffee spot. On campus, I’m involved in the Student Ambassador Program, Consulting Society and Women in Business clubs. I moved to Seattle with my husband and 2-yr old goldendoodle, Simba (@simbathelillion). I love to travel and have been to 46 countries. I’ll be adding my 47th country, Japan, to this list, where I’ll be going on a Spring Break trip with some Foster friends. I’ve enjoyed exploring the outdoors, as well as the food scene in Seattle and would be happy to share my running list of favorite Seattle spots with you! . . . #fostermba #uwfostermba #beboundless
Looking good! Foster MBAs!
#tuesdaytakeover #askmeanything Hi everyone! My name is Barbara and I’m a first year MBA student at Foster. I’m originally from Los Angeles and prior to b-school, I launched and managed clinical trials for radiology and neuroscience at @uclahealth. In a more previous life, I worked in PR for the media/entertainment industry where I launched Snoop Dogg’s first mobile app! This summer, I’ll be interning in investment banking at a global investment bank in NYC. I love being in Seattle thanks to the community I’ve found in the program. Most days you’ll find me at Paccar Hall with my classmates or walking to the art building where the best coffee is on campus. I am also actively involved as a first year representative for Out in Business, Diversity in Business, and the Healthcare/Biotech Association. When I’m not on campus, you’ll find me in Capitol Hill grabbing cocktails, coffee and delicious food with friends, my husband and two rescue dogs @oliverannie637. . . . #beboundless #fostermba #mbalife
#tuesdaytakeover #askmeanything Hey all, I’m Jason (@jayst0ne). I’m a full time 2nd year here at Foster. Prior to school, I worked in Los Angeles in the entertainment industry. I came to Foster to bolster my hard business skills (Finance, Econ, etc.) and pursue a business idea I’ve always wanted to take seriously. Since joining the program, I’ve done just that! I took that idea and partnered with a BRILLIANT fellow student to co-found the company, called Mylo Recs, Ltd. We’ve conducted market research, raised capital, and are forming our technical team. Cross your fingers for us! At Foster, I’m the Executive Vice President of Communications as well as the President of Tech Club. On a personal level, I’m obsessed with travel, good friendships, and authenticity. . . . #fostermba #beboundless
Hi all! My name is Jamie and I’m a second year MBA student here at Foster. I’m particularly involved in the diversity initiatives here at the business school where I serve as President of Women in Business, MBAA VP of Diversity, and Coordinator of Diversity Initiatives for the Program Office. Over the summer, I worked at Zillow as a Product Marketing Intern. Prior to business school, I worked in sales development for a luxury goods ecommerce retailer in San Francisco. For undergrad, I attended UC Berkeley and honed my interest in the customer experience by studying Anthropology and Political Economy. I also served with AmeriCorps where I focused on homelessness and poverty in Sacramento and the Bay Area. When I’m not in Paccar Hall, you’ll find me attending lectures on campus, doing yoga, traveling the world (I just got back from a few weeks in Australia!), or checking out my next book club book from the library. . . . #askmeanything #fostermba #beboundless
