Erika Sanchez

With back-to-back degrees in engineering, it’s no surprise that Erika Sanchez was attracted to Boeing. “I presented technical solutions to management teams that had the authority to allocate funds,” Erika says. “I quickly learned that to get funding, I’d have to... View Details

Ed Rogers

What’s the one thing you’re most excited about learning at HBS? The FIELD III module [on entrepreneurship] has impressed me more than I thought it would. Obviously, I knew we were supposed to incorporate lessons learned over the RC year into our project. But as our... View Details

Evan Rachlin

New therapies, especially those in biotechnology, are very exciting to Evan Rachlin. In his first business-related internship, Evan examined the economic side of life science at Pfizer in New York City. There, he cooperated with the portfolio and decision analysis... View Details

Portrait Project

Esther Hsu

My memory fails me. It does not retain the precious details of days past. I must rely on the thousands of photographs that document the moments I hold dear. Most of the time, these photos sit patiently, awaiting rediscovery. My days go by quickly and more often than... View Details

Ebony Cambridge

I want to cook callaloo and crab every Sunday just like women in Trinidad did when it was all they had, and not a local delicacy. I want to wake up to the warm, wet sensation of my husband kissing the tip of my nose and feel the tenderness of total acceptance. I want... View Details

Elizabeth Bruyere

I was not surprised by my mother's soft, patient knock at 4 AM to tell me that my father had died. It was a moment I had been anticipating each day for five years after his Stage IV cancer diagnosis, and with even more certainty after he had fallen into a coma four... View Details

Danna Wei

What does a dumpling look like? My very first attempt at making one resulted in a rather deformed, half-folded piece of dough. And it only took a few seconds of my imposter-of-a-dumpling oozing all over its neighbors before my mother declared that I needed dumpling... View Details

Derrick Snyder

As a sixteen-year-old, the thought of replacing air conditioning with cow manure was unfathomable. From a young age, my family took my sister and me on one vacation a year to expose us to different U.S. cities. That year, we were going to visit a cattle ranch. In... View Details

Danielle Slutzky

She kept a mini fridge in her bedroom stocked with my favorite chocolate, Pesek Zman, the Israeli version of the Kit Kat bar. My grandmother led me to her fridge when I visited each June. By age seven, I’d imagine the red and yellow wrapped candies shouting,... View Details

Daniel Schachne

Like many people, Daniel Schachne grew up loving sports. He loved to participate—playing baseball, soccer, and—his favorite—basketball. But by middle school, Daniel realized that he was never going to play in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Unlike most... View Details

Debbie Rosenbaum

One of my earliest memories of my grandfather and great-grandfather is of their business banter — kvetching about los negocios — discussed in some hybrid of Spanish, English, and Yiddish. As a child, my family showed me that communication need not be obstructed by... View Details

David Reinke

I plan to continue to laugh and play with my beautiful Michele, the woman with the blue eyes and the crazy curly brown hair, the girl I have loved since before I knew her. I plan to have lots and lots of children – well, at least two – to share in our laughter. I plan... View Details

David Nathanielsz

I've never wanted to set my future down in stone. At various times in my life I've aspired to be a writer, a neurobiologist, a tennis player, an actor, a sociologist, and a student. Luckily, I never committed fully to any one of these and got to experience a little of... View Details

Dan Lennox-Choate

Reflecting on his six years as an Army officer, Daniel Lennox-Choate says that he doesn't "fit the stereotypical image of the officer." In some respects, he is correct: For example, in November, 2013, Daniel and his husband, Larry Choate III, became the first... View Details

Damien Hooper-Campbell

Damien Hooper-Campbell's business career started early – at age ten, when he swept floors at a local barber shop to bring in a little extra income for his family. The experience established two interests Damien would pursue: business and community engagement. At... View Details

Portrait Project

Dana Hamerschlag

I remember pulling the covers over my head at night in the dark-completely cocooning myself inside. I now know what I was hiding from: random violence, child labor, AIDS, poverty, genocide It's enough to make me want to crawl back under the covers. It would be so easy... View Details

Dan Gertsacov

My grandmother is 103, and she is always quick to remind me, "it's not about having what you want; it's about wanting what you have." Well, I want this black eye. Well, at least, I want to share the story that I broke my nose and got a black eye playing rugby... View Details

Derek Aframe

Be curious - never stop asking questions But remain open-minded and heed all suggestions. Stand for my beliefs with a lion's roar And remember for all others to hold open the door. Make the world vast by meeting as many people as I can. Be always willing to offer a... View Details

Chao Zeng

My first job involved working onboard the trains between Shanghai and Zhengzhou, China, during the sweltering, sticky summer peak. The train ecosystem was competitive: people fighting for a spot, daring passengers jumping through windows to get on and off, and thieves... View Details

Cristian van Tienhoven

Answers are overrated. I could tell you that I want to create a successful enterprise, create a community and create a family. All true, but that would be too easy... I don't know much, but I do know one or two things for sure. I want to (take a deep breath) share my... View Details
