Hi, I’m Ishita! I studied Electrical Engineering and Data Science in India and began my career as a software engineer in financial services, with a short stint at JPMorgan Chase before working on risk and pricing platforms within capital markets at Wells Fargo. At Tepper, I’m building on this analytical foundation while expanding into consulting, strategy, and entrepreneurship.

The Tepper Consulting Club has been a defining part of my MBA experience. It has provided both the structure and support system that made consulting recruiting feel more collaborative and less overwhelming. As a board member, I’m excited to give back by helping others navigate the process and get the most out of the TCC community.

Outside of school, I enjoy painting, trying new restaurants, and making time for sunsets and sweet treats whenever I can—while doing my best to keep up with AI trends.

Hi, I'm Chris. I'm originally from New Jersey and prior to moving to Pittsburgh, I was living in Washington DC. I studied electrical engineering at Penn State and spent eight years in the Marine Corps as an Infantry Officer. I joined Tepper to strengthen my business acumen and pivot into consulting. TCC was instrumental in that pivot and I'm grateful for the opportunity to give back. Outside of Tepper, you'll find me running, cycling and exploring the area.

Hi, I'm Rishabh! I’m a problem-solver who loves turning chaos into clarity. My background in technology strategy and consulting at Deloitte taught me how to tackle the toughest puzzles, a skill I’ve honed through global internships, case competitions, and pro bono work.

I’m currently an MBA candidate at Tepper, and I’m thrilled to be heading to McKinsey’s Pittsburgh office as a Summer Associate in 2026!

When I’m not diving into a business strategy, you can find me chasing stories as an internationally published freelance journalist. Whether it’s a corporate challenge or a global feature story, I’m all about finding the "why" and making an impact.

Hey, I'm Ken! I moved from New York City to Pittsburgh to transition from a career in international logistics and production to the world of strategy. At Tepper, I’m focused on using creative thinking to solve the complex operational puzzles I first encountered in the supply chain industry. When I'm not tackling business problems, I’m usually busy cooking up something new, watching sports, or discovering great music.

Hi, I'm Harsh Patel! I grew up in Houston, Texas and attended the University of Texas at Austin, where I majored in Biology and minored in Business Administration. Before coming to Tepper, I worked as a Senior Consultant focusing on tax incentives and cost segregation at a top-10 accounting firm in the US. I joined Tepper to pivot into strategy and management consulting, primarily focused on healthcare. TCC was instrumental in building my consulting skillset, and I'm excited to pay it forward and give back to the community that supported me. Outside of Tepper, you can find me exploring new coffee shops, traveling, or dishing dimes on the basketball court.

Hello! My name is Kathan Shah. I’m originally from India and earned my undergraduate degree in computer science from University of Minnesota before starting my career as a software engineering consultant in Minneapolis.

Outside of school, I enjoy watching soccer, checking out sci-fi movies & books, and visiting national parks.

Hi, I'm Jake! Originally from Cleveland, I studied finance at the University of Dayton before spending the last five years serving as an Infantry Officer in the US Army.
