Economics • Cairo University
Karen sees The University of Chicago as a place that uncovers a new side of the person she never knew even existed. The competitive and rigorous yet inspiring system at the College entices her to go beyond her comfort zone and reach new heights. She is keen on trying new things like going on Career treks, exploring Chicago and getting the most out of the intercultural exchange. By taking classes across different fields, including MBA courses at Booth School of Business, Karen discovered a deep passion for Marketing and Psychology, which led her to aspire to work in the consumer behavior field upon graduation. A field which hopefully satisfies her curious nature.
