Sana Mohammed is a second year MBA student in the class of 2019 and the current co-President of the Harvard Business School Student Association. We recorded this episode in the spring of Sana's first year at HBS and through this conversation got to learn more about why she chose energy for her pre-MBA career (despite it not being her passion choice) and how she hopes to pivot post-MBA. It's a great discussion of the importance of family to her and in life, but also the importance of taking care of and focusing on yourself.
