What Georgia Tech and the School of Economics Taught Me: 

The Master's Economics program gave me practical knowledge in econometrics and statistics. Going in to the program I was most insecure of my quantitative abilities. After completing the program, I am confident in my quantitative skills and have been able to apply them to my job after the program.

Interests and Hobbies: 

My number one hobby is cuddling my two cats King and Jinx. When they tire of all the love, I give them, I like to go for walks around the city with my fiancé and nerd-out on my PS4 and Nintendo Switch

Future Endeavors:

I am currently doing economic research at the Health Economics & Analytics Lab at Georgia Tech. I would like to one day pursue my PhD in Economics and become a full-time researcher and professor

Advice for Current Students:

I believe that I take classes to learn the material and I do my best to not stress over my grades. I would rather have a B in a class where I learned the material and can use the knowledge outside of the classroom than get an A in a class and forget everything I learned after completing the class. Do the best you can to learn and be proud of what you have put in, regardless of your final grade!
