Name: Megha Balamurugan

Major: Management Information Systems, Finance minor

Drink: Lavender Honey Latte

About: I’m really interested in consulting and product management! I’ve been interning at this boutique consulting firm in Austin for the past 2+ years, and here, I had a really cool opportunity to develop one client’s product— a sleep questionnaire— throughout the past 2 years. Through this project, I brainstormed solutions to advance their product and to improve customer-retention and traction rates, while implementing them too! 2 years into the job, I realized I was actually doing product the entire time, which is what got me interested in PM too. Outside of that though, I love cooking so much. Dinner parties are my go-to “i-miss-my-friends” hangout idea.

After I graduate, I plan to pursue my passions and working in a role within the hospitality industry.

Drink: Iced White Chocolate Mocha with Vanilla Sweet Cream Foam and Caramel drizzle

About: I think my most powerful tool is my charismatic nature, and I love pouring my personality into my marketing and event planning endeavors. Throughout my time at UT, I have served as a formal director, and am currently the social chair for two different orgs. I am a very involved member and Social Chair in my professional fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi, as well as a social chair for a board called Raas Rodeo that organizes a multi-university dance competition, and was previously the treasurer for my spirit organization Texas Lonestars as well. I hope to take this experience and use it towards my career in marketing. Outside of school, I enjoy working out, playing Just Dance, watching Bollywood movies, and hanging out with my friends.
