Graduation

Samar Riaz, MSBTM ‘20, came to the Merage School to pursue her unique dual-focused MSBTM degree. With a solid foundation in life sciences, she desired to learn the business side of companies. Samar worked closely with her career advisor to determine the best roles that would leverage her science background, internship experience and strengths in a business role, ultimately choosing consulting. She diligently prepared for case interviews and fully embraced networking, taking the initiative to reach out to a high-level partner at one of her target consulting companies. She joined Charles River Associates as an associate and has already begun to pay it forward by sharing her case interview preparation process with current MSBTM students.
