What do you appreciate most about the Hub and why? 

I appreciate that the Hub gives students the opportunity to utilize career opportunities while they are still in school. I also like that the hub has resources for students to find what they really have a passion for.

What did you want to be when you were a first-year in high school, and how have your goals changed shape since you came to U-M?

When I was a first-year in high school, I wanted to be pre-law and wanted to become an environmental lawyer. Since becoming an LSA undergrad, I have realized that I actually really enjoy economics more than reading law and that I want to join a company right out of undergrad. 

What is it about an LSA education that you've found the most exciting or valuable? 

An LSA education has taught me that the purpose of being in school is to become a well-rounded person, and that in every class you will learn something even if it doesn't have to do with your major.

What advice do you have for students for them to get the most out of their time in LSA and at U-M? 

I would tell a new student to take a class just because it sounds interesting. It isn't a race to graduate and you should learn as much as you can while you are here.
