I am originally from Chicago, Illinois and moved to Texas in 2005 with a hope for better weather and a better life.  I grew up playing almost every sport and constantly spent time in the Texas outdoors.  Upon graduating high school, I came to UT Austin with the hope of becoming the best version of my self that I know I can be.  Today, I am happy to have the friends and family that support me in whatever I do, and I look forward to what my future holds.

I am definable most proud of what I have achieved academically.  I was always in competition with my friends to be the smartest, but now I realize just how beneficial that competition was.  I graduated Salutatorian of my high school and am now at a top university, achieving my dreams.

I applied for an MS in Business Analytics because I have always been numbers driven, and realized that I can use it to build on my undergraduate degree. Data is what drives our future decisions and it was so exciting to see a program that offers just that.

I am looking forward to learning, but ultimately doing things I never knew were possible. Technology advances every single day and to be apart of that journey will be something I’ll be forever grateful for.
