I am a Rutgers Business School student planning to enter Corporate America as an analyst in the supply chain management field. Writing, whether fiction or commentary, is my passion, however, and I hope that sharing my perspective on the world will be interesting for people. As a writer for NextGen, I hope to make people think about topics in news. I believe that student media is a powerful force, and it can can shape how the next generation of educated workers thinks. Student publications, whether national or school-based, can bring forth change in the world.
