2016 Abbreviation Finder Scholarship Winner

“I am a graduate student majoring in Business Administration at the University of California Irvine. During my short professional career, I realized that I was more suited for the business side as compared to the technical side. Now, through my work-experience I have understood the technical side of the business in depth and I would like to complement my technical knowledge with business knowledge so that I can succeed in a product management role in a technology firm like Google.”- Tong Zhu, MBA, Class of 2017, UC Irvine
