Hear from our special guest, TJ Davidson:

I’m originally from Washington, D.C., but have moved around a lot in my life. I spent a few years in Geneva, Switzerland as a kid, then moved back to D.C. for high school. I went to college at University of Rochester where I studied cognitive neuroscience and political science, and where I founded the AKPsi Psi Mu Chapter along with 50 of my friends. After college, I moved to Madison, Wisconsin where I began working at Epic, a healthcare software company, as a project manager. Since then, I obtained my Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, moved to California and worked as an IT project manager with several healthcare organizations and hospitals, eventually ending up at Stanford Health Care, where I’ve worked for 3 years. I studied for and took the GMAT in 2021, and received a score of 770, which is in the top 1% of all test takers. In 2022, I was admitted to the MBA program at University of Chicago Booth School of Business, where I am now studying with an expected graduation date in May 2025.
