Leah Sara Thomas, MBA 2024

Hello, Olin Family!

I’m Leah, a second-year MBA candidate here at Olin. With a background in Civil Engineering and a diverse career spanning India, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi, I’ve witnessed the transformative power of construction firsthand. 

Transitioning from the world of construction to the dynamic realm of healthcare, I recently embarked on an enriching internship at CVS Health as a Product Manager. This role has allowed me to fuse my analytical skills with a deep-rooted desire to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives.

Beyond the professional realm, I find joy and fulfillment in the arts. As a trained singer and dancer in Carnatic music and Bharatnatyam, I find solace and expression in melodies and movements. These artistic pursuits serve as a reminder of the importance of balance and self-expression amid a demanding academic and professional journey.

On a personal note, I am incredibly fortunate to share this journey with my husband, who is concurrently pursuing his MBA at Yale SOM. Together, we navigate the challenges and celebrate the triumphs of the MBA experience, finding strength and support in each other along the way.

Leah and Robin

In embracing change, pursuing our passions, and cherishing the journey, we find meaning and fulfillment in seeking knowledge and growth.
