It was great preparation for a profession requiring in-depth knowledge of public and private sector economics, analytics, and the ability to develop keen behavioral insights. The personal integrity and passion of my classmates was exhilarating and reinforced important values. My Yale SOM experience provides me with an ongoing source of inspiration."
