My Travel Story

by: Vicky Zhao Start Date: Jun 9, 2021 - End Date: Jun 8, 2022
I am a business student at New York University concentrating my studies in Business and Technology Management and Accounting with a specialization in Finance. I am projected to graduate in Fall 2023 with plans of working towards a career in Business/Finance/Accounting. I am expected to graduate one semester early because I have 20 credits transferred from relevant AP courses taken in high school.

I am very fortunate to be a part of the NYU Tandon Motorsport Team. Through collaborating with over fifty members who are mostly upperclassmen, and seeking industry leaders for sponsorships, I have learned to appreciate having professional relationships with experienced mentors. I look forward to building more of these professional relationships in the different opportunities I seek in the future.

I devote my free time to developing a game with my colleagues. We utilize the different programming languages we learned such as python, java and C++ to come together and expand our creativity. This project has enhanced my experience whether it's initiating a startup or attempting an entrepreneurial model and experience, strengthening my goals to be a leader and an innovative creator in the business world.

I am an interdisciplinary, ambitious individual with a diligent work ethic, hoping to apply my various experiences in different industries to new opportunities. I endeavor to seek for and learn from any opportunities. Therefore, I will be studying abroad at NYU Shanghai for the spring semester of 2022. I hope to apply the unique experiences gained from studying at Shanghai to future business practices, especially in accounting. There will be a large amount of expenses incurred studying at Shanghai, so any donations will be appreciated.
