I chose to attend Texas A&M because…  Of the warmth and kindness I felt from the professors and student body

My favorite things to do on campus are… Hammock and run around campus.

When I have free time, I like… Go to the gym and watch “The Office”.

The craziest thing I’ve done is…  Studied abroad at Erasmus University in The Netherlands and visited 13 countries in four months.

My favorite place to study is… The Allen Building.

My favorite ECON professor is…  Dr. Jonathan Meer

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

If I knew I could not fail, I would… Start my own law firm.

If money was not a consideration, I would love to… I would love to travel around the world.

What is your passion and how are you committed to pursuing it? I am passionate about helping to rid the discriminatory aspects of our education system that prevent the equal access of educational opportunities for all students, on a basis of socioeconomic status. I plan lo pursue a law degree and ultimately become involved in education policy work.

After graduation, I plan to… Attend law school at Stanford taw, beginning Fall 2018.

The one Texas A&M experience I will always remember is… Being a part of the Cornerstone Liberal Arts program and getting to travel with A&M students to Vienna, Austria for spring break.
