“To me, being successful means being kind, genuine, good hearted, open minded person” What’s up! I am currently a Business Analyst at McKinsey and University of Michigan alum (dual degree: Business Administration and Industrial & Operations Engineering). The quote encompasses my life goal, and my interests lie in the intersection between business and social impact in the food & beverage industry. I’ve been able to venture into these spaces since my junior year of high school when I founded Swirl Cupcakes, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, with my younger sister. 8 years later and still running Swirl, I spend my day to day striving to build community, be a mentor, and help those around me through my current and past roles. My past experiences include Partnerships @ Kiva, President of MECC Consulting Group, Founder of incoMing Michigan, Consulting Peer Coach at Ross Career Development Office, VP PD of Alpha Kappa Psi Professional Business Fraternity, Entrepreneurship Teacher at the NAF Future Ready Scholars program at the College of Engineering, Entrepreneurship TA at U of M’s Center for Entrepreneurship, and more. With all this, I'm lucky to wake up everyday and feel like I'm not doing work. But outside the "work", catch me hosting a coffee club, baking, listening to 2010 EDM, exploring Chicago, running, traveling, and more. If there is anything I can help you with or you just want to chat, don't hesitate to reach out at nehaparagi@gmail.com!
