Family ties to Texas A&M:

None.

 

I chose to attend Texas A&M because…

I wanted to attend a highly ranked Master's in Economics program while staying close to the town my parents retired to.

 

My favorite things to do on campus are…

Study with friends and get lunch at Rev's Grill or Chik-Fil-A.

 

When I have free time, I like…

To watch football or basketball games, practice my French Horn, go on walks, and play card or board games.

 

The craziest thing I’ve done is…

Survive an entire year as a High School Social Studies teacher following the pandemic.

 

My favorite place to study is…

The 6th floor of Evans Library

 

My favorite ECON professor is…

Dr. Chelsea Strickland

 

My favorite part of being an Economics student is…

Using economic theory and models to understand the interconnectedness of people's decisions and the economy at large.

 

If I could share an afternoon with anyone, I would love to share it with…

I try not to idolize famous figures, so I would probably just prefer to spend time with my family and closest friends, although I could be sold on an afternoon with A&M alum and Super Bowl 50 MVP Von Miller.

 

If I knew I could not fail, I would…

Place a $10 bet on the Broncos to win the Super Bowl (please bet responsibly).

 

If money was not a consideration, I would love to…

Place a $10 bet on the Broncos to win the Super Bowl (please bet responsibly).

 

What is your passion and how are you committed to pursuing it?

My passions are sports predictions/data, playing music, economic theory, and my Catholic faith. I hope to find a career path where I can combine my economic skills and knowledge with one of my other passions so as to find the most enjoyable career for me.

 

After graduation, I plan to…

Spend Christmas with my family and begin my career in January, moving wherever a job my take me.

 

The one Texas A&M experience I will always remember is…

Helping classmates and friends with Microeconomic Theory homework.
