This event is open to all women of the 5 colleges. To attend this event, you must sign up using this link. Below are the biographies of the panelists.
Joey Yamada CMC '18
I am a second year associate at EY-Parthenon in their San Francisco office, doing primarily healthcare cases, with a dabbling in education, tech, and boats (yes, boats). I’ve been with the firm since I graduated from CMC in 2018, dual majoring in Psychology and Economics. At CMC, I wore many hats—from junior class president to RA to rugby player (go foxes), I’m always down to reminisce about my CMC experiences. I’m originally from Japan and just recently got approved for my H1-B visa, so I feel well positioned to answer any questions about being an international candidate! In my free time, I try to stay active and play basketball, but most of the time I just end up binge watching docu-series on Netflix. Looking forward to hanging out soon!
