Master of Health Administration
I’m Tanee, a Master of Health Administration (MHA) student at the Fox School of Business. I bring over six years of healthcare experience. After graduating from Temple's College of Liberal Arts, my time working on a medical sales team inspired me to pursue business school. By integrating a bioethical foundation with data analysis, I am motivated to drive ethical, evidence-based decisions to optimize healthcare operations.
Returning to Temple University for my MHA was a natural next step as an alumna. I returned because I knew the faculty and my peers would push me to sharpen and expand my practical, market-ready skills. Temple’s innovative curriculum is perfect for bridging my liberal arts foundation with strategic healthcare business management, proving once again that the right environment can cultivate "acres of diamonds" right where we stand. Outside of my studies, I enjoy cooking, gardening, and staying active in my community through non-profit organizations.
If you are considering Fox, I would love to connect and share more about my journey. Welcome to Temple University!
Fun Fact: My preferred method of getting around Philadelphia is the bus, and my favorite late-night spot in the city is Chinatown!
MBA, Business Analytics
Hi, I am Laura, currently pursuing my MBA with a concentration in Business Analytics at the Fox School of Business. I bring over 14 years of experience in Human Resources and operations, with a strong focus on data-driven decision-making. In my current role supporting graduate admissions, I analyze application data, evaluate academic records, and use tools like Banner and Cognos to track enrollment metrics.
I chose Fox because of its practical, hands-on approach to learning and strong connection between analytics and real-world business challenges. The program has strengthened my ability to translate data into actionable insights, particularly in HR analytics and organizational strategy.
Outside of academics, I enjoy traveling, volunteering, and exploring innovative ways to apply analytics for social impact.
If you are considering Fox, I would be happy to connect and share my experience.

Digital Marketing
Hi all! My name is Jasmine Oyefusi and I am currently pursuing my MS in Digital Marketing at the Fox School of Business. After completing my Bachelor’s in Communication Studies at Temple’s Klein College of Media and Communication I knew that I wanted to continue my education and home in on skills that I needed for my career. My experience at Fox has given me just that—I have grown as a marketer and leader and have been able to apply practical skills to my current role.
I chose Fox because of the excellent education I received at Temple during undergrad. The experience I had at Temple exceeded my expectations and considering Fox’s reputation for supporting student success academically and professionally, continuing my education here would further support my career goals.
Outside of academics, I enjoy going to concerts, travelling, exploring new restaurants, and spending time with my nephews!
Fox has truly made a lasting impact on my life! I am happy to connect with anyone considering Fox and looking for more information.
Fun Fact: I used to be a freelance makeup artist 😊
Quantitative Finance
I am Federico, currently pursuing my MS in Quantitative Finance at the Fox School of Business at Temple University, where I maintain a 3.9 GPA. My academic background bridges European financial theory — shaped by my undergraduate studies at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan — and the rigorous quantitative methods that define modern U.S. capital markets practice.
At Fox, I have had the opportunity to apply sophisticated financial modeling to real-world problems, from structured credit analysis to digital asset infrastructure. I am concurrently interning as a Strategic Finance & Modeling Intern at NearSummit Capital and as a Finance & Investment Strategy Intern at Martek Global Services Inc., giving me direct exposure to both private markets and corporate finance at an advanced level.
What I value most about Fox is its commitment to bridging academic rigor with industry relevance. The faculty bring genuine practitioner insight into the classroom, and the program has equipped me with the quantitative toolkit to tackle problems in quantitative markets, private credit, and high-level corporate finance.
Outside of academics, I am passionate about skiing, outdoor exploration, and travel — I recently spent time in Moab, Utah, and enjoy documenting my experiences through photography. I am also a native Italian speaker and enjoy staying connected to European financial markets and culture.
If you are considering Fox's quantitative finance program and want an honest, detailed perspective — from the curriculum to career opportunities in the U.S. market — I would be glad to connect.
Fun Fact: Having grown up in Italy, I still believe no espresso in Philadelphia quite matches a bar in Milan — though I keep searching.
Financial Analysis
Hi, I’m April Jiang, a graduate student at the Fox School of Business at Temple University and a proud Fox Ambassador!
At Fox, I’m building my background in finance, with a focus on how data and markets connect in real-world decision-making. What I really appreciate is that learning here doesn’t feel abstract—you constantly see how concepts tie into real industries and career paths.
Beyond academics, what makes Fox special to me is the people and the environment. It’s easy to meet others, get involved, and build your own community, especially as an international student. There are always events, group activities, and opportunities to connect, so you never really feel like you’re figuring things out alone.
Living in Philadelphia has been one of my favorite parts of the experience. The city has a great balance—you can stay focused on school, but also enjoy exploring cafés, restaurants, and different neighborhoods. It makes everyday student life feel a lot more enjoyable.
Outside of school, I’m really into dancing—it’s something that brings me a lot of energy and joy. I also love trying new coffee spots and meeting new people. Lately, I’ve been saying yes to more social experiences, and it’s made my life here much more exciting and fulfilling.
If you’re considering Fox or just want to get a real sense of student life here, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to share my experience!
Fun Fact: I’m an extortive person but can sit down for five or six hours to finish the assignments!
