What made you choose to attend USC Marshall?
The hands-on business curriculum and the Trojan Family Network were two of the many things that made me choose to attend USC Marshall. I knew that I was looking for not only the opportunity to take core business classes right away but a community of individuals that could help me grow and succeed, and Marshall gave me both right from the start. Moreover, USC's location in Los Angeles gives me the chance to be simultaneously involved in on-campus and off-campus experiences outside of the academic curriculum, and consequently, I felt like USC Marshall was the best place for my professional and personal development.

Why do you love Los Angeles?
I love Los Angeles because there are limitless opportunities in the city! You could be at the Santa Monica Pier an hour after having explored the financial district of Downtown Los Angeles and eaten lunch at the countless restaurants, or you may want to check out the Hollywood Walk of Fame at night after a day at the Griffith Observatory. Regardless of what you want to do, Los Angeles will have that and more!

What is your favorite USC Marshall Class and why?
MOR 492: Global Strategy with PROFESSOR CHRISTINE EL HADDAD! This class was not only my introduction to international strategy and consulting but taught me an incredible wealth of fundamentals that I still utilize to this day. It's also the reason I chose to declare my Marshall emphasis in Leadership and Innovation!
