Double Major Undergraduate Student

As a broadcast journalism and finance double major my academic and personal journey so far has taught me not to limit any of my interest! It ranges from wealth management and financial markets to entertainment business and journalism. I'm also interested in politics and producing engaging content. Syracuse has been the perfect place for me to discover my interests, I've been able to go to conferences and connect with alumni who are in careers that I'm interested in.

Describe your college experience

Transitioning to college has been all about learning how to find the right balance between keeping up with schoolwork and staying involved in activities. It's been a journey figuring out how to manage my time effectively, but every semester I get a little better at juggling it all.

Tip for future students

rite everything down! Keep track of every assignment, deadline, and exam from day one. Things can sneak up on you fast, and staying organized from the start makes a huge difference in keeping stress levels low.

Favorite class

My favorite class so far has been SOC 102. It was the perfect combination of history and journalism, two things I'm really passionate about. I walked away from that course having learned so much, and it genuinely sparked a deeper interest in the way society and media intersect.

Career goals

After college, I hope to explore the many exciting career paths within the entertainment business. I'm also drawn to wealth management and production, so I'm keeping my options open and building a well-rounded skill set that could take me in several rewarding directions.

Ideal way to spend a free night

If all my assignments are done, you'll find me unwinding in front of the TV. One of the perks of being connected to Syracuse's campus wifi is having access to great streaming options.
