Lukeshini Malikireddy - Class of 2022

India

Born into an entrepreneurial family, exposed to her father’s self-made business, Lukeshini stood witness to various challenges faced and tackled through sheer hard work and determination. Imitating similar values in her life, she strove to give her best in every endeavor she pursued. Taking Information Technology during high school, majoring in science because of her interest in computers, and further participating in a 15-day educational trip to the USA with NASA paved a path for Lukeshini to take up electronics and telecommunication engineering during her undergraduate.

During her undergraduate career, the curriculum helped nurture Lukeshini’s analytical and problem-solving skills. After undergrad and working in the field of Project Management for 1.5 years, she felt the need for a foundational understanding of management to help streamline her skills and prepare her for a future career. Lukeshini was keen to get a more comprehensive understanding of business fundamentals, and exposure to different kinds of management situations to help prevent and solve problems.

Lukeshini’s drive and curiosity to learn helped her decide to take a leap and pursue a Master’s in Management Science at The University of Texas at Dallas. She embarked on this learning journey in Spring 2021 and has been exploring various tracks ever since. This program has given her the opportunity to choose from a plethora of courses across Naveen Jindal School of Management in areas not limited to Business Analytics, Information Technology, Supply Chain, Marketing, Finance, and Accounting. She opted for courses in a variety of fields apart from the core courses like Project management, Digital Consulting, and IT Audit.

Apart from academics, Lukeshini also engages in various on-campus and networking opportunities. Currently, she working full-time as an IT Audit Co-op at Fidelity Investments. She would personally recommend MS Management Science as a STEM degree designed to tailor your own degree plan with unlimited options to choose from. Ready to design your own journey?

Shrutik Dode – Class of 2020

Shrutik Dode – Class of 2020

When I decided I wanted to pursue my masters I was bombarded with so many options. Choosing the right option was a tremendous challenge since I had been a working professional and had left my student life behind many years ago. I wanted a degree plan which would give me the freedom to choose courses from both technical and business domains and not restrict myself to a specific track. MSc program was a perfect fit for me. Additionally, as MSc is a STEM program, it gave me the option to have hands-on industry experience after completing my degree. The Program has a lot to offer in terms of career fairs, personal guidance from the professors and non-teaching staff, networking opportunities, resume workshops, etc. I have had the privilege of serving as a Teaching Assistant and was honored to receive in-state tuition scholarship. I am indebted to MSc Program at the Jindal School of Management and want to give back to my school by helping prospective students make an informed decision about joining the program. Please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to assist you. I look forward to hearing from you.
