What are your areas of interest at USC and Marshall?
Accounting, Business Law, Political Science

What made you choose to attend USC Marshall?
I knew that USC Marshall, located in one of the most populous (and popular) cities in the country, would offer an incredible array of networking opportunities, career options, and opportunities to meet diverse people. I also appreciated the global approach Marshall emphasized in their business studies, which I knew would be an underlying factor in pushing me to grow as not only an open-minded and informed student, but as a citizen as well.

What advice do you wish you had known while applying to college?
Be transparent, be authentic, and be genuine. There is no need to try to package yourself into what you think admissions officers want to see or read. Trust the process and know that after you've put in the work of researching colleges, visiting the schools, and conveying your genuine self in your application, your work is done and you will ultimately end up at the place where you belong.

What are your USC activities/general hobbies?
At USC, I am involved with Accounting Society, Marshall Student Ambassadors, and VITA. Outside of school, I enjoy watching sports and finding new food places around LA.

Why do you love Los Angeles?
Los Angeles has something for everybody. With USC being in the heart of downtown LA, there are endless activities to do, diverse people/cultures to see and meet, and stellar attractions to see. LA weather is also unbeatable - it is almost always sunny and warm year round.

What global experiences have you taken part in at USC? Please list all Marshall International Trips you have attended, include program name(s) and location(s).
I was part of the Global Leadership Program (GLP) my freshman year. Although the impact of the pandemic prevented us from actually traveling, we had prepared to go to Beijing and Shanghai.

What internship/employment opportunities have you taken advantage of at Marshall?
Marshall has helped me secure an internship at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) this summer within the Audit sector in Boston.

What is your favorite USC Marshall Class and why?
My favorite USC Marshall Class has been GLP. Through that class, I got to meet some of the brightest peers, network with some of the world's top global leaders, and become more open-minded to the endless opportunities present within the world of business.
