My name is Noareen Ahmed and I am a born and raised New Yorker. I am a management consultant in the healthcare advisory space at a top consulting firm. I work on healthcare M&A, operations and strategy. I attended Emory University in Atlanta, GA where I double majored in Economics and Neuroscience (graduated 2014). After Emory, I moved back to NYC to pursue my Masters in Public Health (Health Policy and Management) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (graduated 2016). I am currently living in Manhattan, one of my favorite cities. I am professionally driven and working hard to push myself even further in my career.  

I grew up in a household where education, healthy/ clean living and family were always the most important fundamentals. We grew up understanding the importance of faith, eating well, working out and always treating your mind, body, and spirit with respect. 

When I am not working, I enjoy reading up on neuroscience research (product of a medical family), traveling, yoga and tennis. I also am always reading to learn more about our economy and political landscape. As a self-proclaimed nerd, I love attending lectures in my field, reading non-fiction and listening to political podcasts. I am a big NBA fan and try to watch/ attend games in my spare time. Some of my "fun facts" are: I am left-handed, I love beaches (East Hampton and Santa Barbara beaches, specifically), and I am mildly addicted to flywheel. 

Additionally, I am super close with my family--I am the oldest of 3 and my siblings are my best friends. The 3 of us and both of our parents are either binging crime shows or traveling internationally. We love the NYC and LA food scene--always love to go out for a nice meal and try out different cuisines.  

My parents describe me as "motivated, honest, passionate and a natural-born leader".
