Stanford University
After selling my paintings for thousands of dollars, I wanted to study both art and finance, so I figured out how to do my undergraduate in Art and my graduate degree in Business & Entrepreneurship through the School of Engineering.
While at Stanford, I walked onto the Women's Varsity Rowing team. Though never been a good athlete before, now something clicked. As they say, "all you need to be good at rowing is to be tall and stubborn."
- Bachelor of Arts: Art Practice - Spring 2008
- Masters of Science: Management Science and Engineering - Fall 2008
- Women's Varsity Rowing - Pac 10 Athlete of the Year 2008
