Why did you choose to attend The University of Texas at Austin?

I chose UT because of it’s great reputation and because Austin is a fantastic city to live in. I know it’s just one year, but why spend a valuable year of your life in a place you won’t enjoy that much?

Why did you choose the MPA program?

I wanted to get into accounting and this was the best program available.

What’s your favorite spot on campus?

The area around the North entrance of McCombs. It stays pretty shaded with all the oak trees in the area, you get a good view of the tower, and there are plenty of areas to sit and just hang out. It’s a great place to get a breath of fresh air between classes.

Where are your favorite places to go and favorite things to do in Austin?

The live music scene! White Horse, Scoot Inn, Blackheart, and Stubbs are all great places to catch some good acts. Additionally, I love to go running on the Shoal Creek trail or from campus through downtown and along the lake.

Anything else interesting about yourself that you want to share?

I can whistle and hum simultaneously.
