Proudest accomplishment:

My proudest accomplishment was being able to achieve a 4.00 GPA in my undergraduate program.

Why did you choose the MSITM Program?

I was interested in applying to MSITM because I wanted to gain more technical knowledge. I felt like I wasn’t ready to go into the workforce yet and that I needed to learn more skills before I could do so. I was also interested in the program because of UT’s prestige and reputation. I was also looking for an in-state Master’s program that would provide a lot of value to me.

What are you most looking forward to this year?

I look forward to meeting the students from other MS programs and getting to know them better. I think it will be really fun when we all come together and get to share our experiences so far with our respective programs.
