What Made You Choose to Attend USC Marshall?

When I came on MeetUSC I felt really included as part of the University. There was a whole tour organized for all of us already, and a special presentation especially for Marshall students. At other universities, there was nothing organized. I didn’t feel confident going to a business university where nothing felt prepared.

Advice you wish you had known while applying to college:

Take a deep breathe! Be yourself! What colleges want more than anything is real people and a variety, if you’re fake on your application they will be able to tell. Just relax and let them know who you are!

USC activities/general hobbies:

MSA, DOZ (the co-ed leadership fraternity), International Exchange Program Host, swimming and running!

Why do you love Los Angeles?

It’s so diverse! Anything you want to do you can find here which is awesome. There are mountains and water all so close. It’s an amazing place to be.

Share a definitive freshman moment at USC:

When I was able to go abroad to India through Marshall, it was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had. I loved being able to travel with a group of students and also see how businesses work in other countries.

Favorite USC Marshall class:

My marketing class (BUAD 307) was one of my favorites and right now I love my BUAD 302 Business Communications class! They are both related to what I want to do with my career and are extremely progression-driven.
