“NextGen has given me so much more than networking opportunities.”
As a student at Babson College with a passion for entrepreneurship and a growing interest in the healthcare industry, the moment I heard about the NextGen Health Network, I knew it was an opportunity I couldn’t miss. And so far, being part of it has already exceeded my expectations!
What I’ve loved most is the community that NextGen is creating. Being in the same room as experienced professionals, healthcare leaders, educators, and mentors, and having the opportunity not only to learn from them but also to participate in conversations and share my own perspective, has been incredibly meaningful to me as a student.
More than anything, these experiences have helped me realize that I don’t have to wait until I graduate or have my entire career figured out to start building my professional path. Every conversation has shown me how much there is to learn, how willing people are to share their knowledge and insights, and how many doors can open when you simply put yourself out there.
NextGen has given me so much more than networking opportunities. It has given me inspiration, encouragement, and the confidence to continue exploring my interests and pursuing a future in healthcare. I’m genuinely grateful to be part of this network, and if this is what I’ve gained already, I can only imagine what’s to come!
