Bio
Blake Rowlinson
I consider myself lucky that I had Yehia as my TA for my Corporate Finance class. Yehia is extremely well-versed in the finance industry and was extremely helpful throughout the semester. Class sections were extremely productive as Yehia was able to cement our in-class learning as well as expound on many areas not covered in class, yet extremely useful and prevalent in our future financial aspirations. Yehia was able to create an classroom atmosphere that induced conversation and creative thought, which was rather unique compared to several ECON sections.

I came to know Yehia when we were both studying at Yale School of Management. He is a very smart, dedicated and hardworking individual. He is a very talented person and a very skilled politician too. He has deep insights that enrich any discussion and I’m glad to have had the opportunity to work along his side.
