Hi!,
This week we have the second installment of current
Booth students who will be writing during the upcoming school year and sharing
their experiences with you. Last week we introduced five of the members of the
team (Meet the new "The Booth Experience" Team / Post 1 of 2). This week, we present to you the other four!
First of all, we are proud to introduce Darren Spicer, our own former MLS Star!
Darren is a Southern California native and
second-year student at Booth pursuing concentrations in finance and strategic
management. He studied international politics and captained the varsity soccer
team at Princeton before getting drafted by Chivas USA in Major League Soccer.
He then went on to play professional soccer for five years across the US and
Germany. And yes, he played against David Beckham. Before Booth Darren also
coached youth soccer and coordinated camps in Southern California for Slammers
FC, one of the top youth clubs in the country. This summer, he is interning
with The Cambridge Group in Chicago, doing growth strategy consulting. He also
loves to surf, snowboard, bike, bike, hike, and golf, and he's never met a
spicy curry that he didn't like.
Next up, Jatin Jindal brings an enviable startup experience to the table...
Jatin is pursuing a summer internship at
Amazon Web Services as a Product Manager. Prior to business school, he worked
with multiple startups in several roles. He started Hellointern.com with some
classmates as an undergrad and later sold it to Angaros Group in 2012. He also
worked briefly in 2013 for a startup in cab service space - Bookmycab. Prior to
that, Jatin worked in the Investment Banking Department of Credit Suisse from
2009 to 2013, advising clients engaged in oil & gas sector on raising
capital as well as M&A transactions. He obtained a Bachelors of Technology
in Mechanical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay.
In his free time, Jatin loves to read
books and go on short hiking trips. He is also passionate about Arsenal FC, and
has been supporting them for more than a decade now!
Favorite Booth memory: traveling with my
Booth classmates to different places like Fiji, Mexico and Florida. He is
looking forward to another amazing year at Booth and many more such trips!
The editor of Chibus, our school's renowned newspaper, is also part of our group. Meet Tyler Kearn!,
Tyler is a rising second year Booth
student and co-chair of the Chicago Business newspaper (chibus.com) and the Family Enterprise group. Prior
to Booth, he worked for COIT Services, a nationwide specialty cleaning and
restoration company, as well as CBS Interactive and the San Francisco Giants
(Go Giants!). His interests and hobbies include hiking, travel, skiing, and
movies (including “bad” movies – movies so bad, they’re good).
Finally, and last but not least, we have Suzi Singh!,
Suzi has a PHD in
psychology and will be certainly psychoanalyzing the entire Booth community in
her posts!
Suzi is a first year student at Booth
pursuing a concentration in marketing management. She earned her bachelor's
degree from the College of William and Mary and her Ph.D. in Clinical
Psychology from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Prior to Booth, she was an
assistant professor in an addiction studies program. This summer, she is a
marketing intern at Campbell's Soup Company in Philadelphia.

Favorite Booth Memory:
singing karaoke with friends at the LEAD retreat!
That’s it! We’ve
introduced all 9 members of our team: Linda, Edward, Craig, Ignacio, Alex,
Darren, Jatin, Tyler and Suzi
Once again, we are
looking forward to sharing our experiences with you. We hope to give you
valuable information and insights that can help you see another side of Chicago
Booth.
Cheers for a
wonderful year to come!
