SOMA Spotlight


Name: Sabena Virani
Position: President
Pre MBA: Management Consulting, Product Management at Warby Parker, Fulbright Scholar in Argentina
Summer Internship: ServiceNow PMM
Post-MBA goals: Sustainable Product Management and Tech
Hometown: Atlanta, GA
Helpful Tips: Stay focused on what you want and try not to get distracted by other people's timelines or processes. Go after the role even if you think you are underqualified. Prepare your stories, practice the key takeaways and apply it back to the role you are applying for. In my case, having an "accountability partner" was key - they kept me on track with my goals, reviewed my resume, and kept me motivated if I did not get an interview or an offer. Remember - it's a process and everyone goes at their own pace.
Favorite fun things to do in LA: Hiking with my dog, rollerblading by the beach, picnics in the park with a good bottle of rose, and hunting for the best breakfast burritos and fish tacos in the city
