Vedika Shetty MSBA 26

I chose UC Davis MSBA to augment my management consulting background with data science & analytics. The program is fast-paced and intentional, setting a solid foundation to adapt to the ever-changing AI landscape. Being in San Francisco serves as the ultimate catalyst, providing direct access to industry leaders through guest lectures and mentorship.

Fun Facts

• I am an advanced open water diver with a bit of a dangerous curiosity—I once got so mesmerized by a shark, I tracked it 110 feet deep just to get a better look.
• I'm always seeking the next thrill, whether it’s skydiving, cliff jumping or anything else that gets the adrenaline pumping.
• I'm a huge foodie. When I’m not hunting down the city’s hidden gems, I’m at home, chef’s hat on, experimenting with the Korean and Japanese flavors I love!
