I’m a senior at the University of Michigan, studying Economics with a minor in Entrepreneurship. I’m actively involved in campus life, including Alpha Chi Omega, Impact Investment Group, and Propel Business Club. My journey at Michigan has been shaped by all of the amazing people I have met from all over the country. As well as my engaging academic experiences and a strong sense of community Michigan provided, both in and outside the classroom.

Describe your college experience

The transition to Michigan was exciting yet challenging. I didn’t know many people so I felt lost at first before finding my footing by joining clubs, intramural sports, and Greek Life. The supportive and fun campus environment with endless opportunities to connect with like-minded peers have made my college experience rewarding and transformative.

Tip for future students

Explore as much as you can, both academically and socially. Take that random class, attend that club meeting, or introduce yourself to someone new. You never know where it might lead. Also, don’t be afraid to ask for help—Michigan has a wealth of resources to support you.

Favorite class

My favorite class has been ECON 487: Urban Economics. It explores how cities evolve, the impact of housing policies, and the dynamics of urban development. The course offered a fresh perspective on real-world economic issues and sparked my curiosity about urban planning and public policy.

Career goals

After college, I plan to work in consulting, leveraging data and strategy to drive meaningful business decisions. Long-term, I hope to integrate my passion for sustainability into transformative projects that make a positive impact on communities.

Ideal way to spend a free night

On a free night, I enjoy playing intramural pickleball or soccer, hanging out, going out, or playing games with friends, or exploring local Ann Arbor spots like the Docks or Arboretum for a relaxing walk.
