Notes:

Founding member of this digital media company's US office right out of undergrad. I have grown this company and the industry as a whole at an exponential pace, including supervising an office of 45+ people and over 100 productions with budgets of $200,000. Extracurriculars include women/queer focused film groups, short films that have gone to festivals, and volunteering at an animal shelter. Intended career path is still in entertainment/media but more on the business management side. Mostly concerned about my GMAT score being high enough because I am not a great test taker (665 FE), especially because my Q score is less than V and DI (Q78 V87 DI84). My undergrad and career have not been math focused at all!
