Dr. Claudia Okonkwo on Adjusting to Life in the US & Not Quitting After Failing Her Qualifying Exams Twice
Manage episode 286418123 series 2854773
In this week's episode, I chat with Dr. Claudia Okonkwo, who received her PhD in Chemical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology last year and currently works for Boston Consulting Group. Dr. Okonkwo talks about adjusting to life in the US after moving from Nigeria to attend college, how she created time during her doctoral degree for extra-curricular activities (including a brief modeling career!), and how she remained resilient and determined after failing her qualifying exams twice.
