Global Networking Night: Philadelphia

As a graduating HBS student planning to relocate to Philadelphia this summer, I’m eager to build connections in the area and explore opportunities in entrepreneurship, talent development, and people strategy. I’m particularly interested in how organizations attract, develop, and retain top talent, as well as innovative approaches to career coaching and leadership development.

Entertainment, Music, Technology

I’m transitioning from a corporate role into solo-entrepreneurship, focused on education and consulting in disability inclusion for HR and people managers. I’d love to connect with anyone who’s navigated this type of transition or who runs their own business. Work aside, I am interested in meeting anyone going through their own personal transformations and I am also happy to meet alumni in the area in general.

Education policy, consulting, non-profits, small businesses/entrepreneurship, books, bookshops, libraries.

Three things- a) Meeting like minded folks in the People/HR arena of business b) Learning about new technologies that are shaping business and learning c) I have an MBA and Masters in Psychology and love to learn about how people are shaping their life and their careers.

Always open to any creative collabs! Love out-of-the-box thinkers and workers across disciplines.

Ed tech, especially teaching and learning in the age of AI

Healthcare, music, democracy with human rights for all. I give concerts, singing from opera favorites to jazz and Broadway selections as part of a charity fund-raiser for the mentally disabled in our neighborhoods. Also, still working on Chopin Ballade #4 on piano which will probably take me another year, given my poor sight-reading, haha. My daily focus is helping my patients to understand and overcome their drawbacks, create new pathways to become more functional, thereby creating a more positive sense of self.

Career interest and hobby groups such as hiking

Job opportunities, open roles.

Art, Business, Politics, Fun!

Public Health, Public Policy, Advocacy at large and locally, environmental justice. How to remain committed to JEDI work in a system actively fighting against it.

I am a recent masters graduate in Biology with concentration in developmental biology and microbiology. I work at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia as a lab manager for a craniofacial genetics lab which I helped establish and for which I contributed intellectually to. I am actively job searching for new roles in hospital, academic or industry settings that will allow me to use my current experience and allow me to continue develop professional expertise within a variety of research or R&D settings. Outside of career aspirations, I enjoy cooking, volunteering for variois organizations (Pax, Otakon, Child's Play) and various arts and crafts.

Anyone interested in energy, the environment, quantitative analysis, or statistics!
