“Being part of 180DC was a cornerstone of my college experience and played an essential part in shaping my early career journey, both personally and professionally. It exposed me to the invaluable impact that consulting can have across industries and regions, providing me with the skills, experiences, and connections to successfully pursue a career in consulting. More importantly, 180DC gave me a community of lifelong friends and mentors whose knowledge and passion continue to inspire me.
