NEXT PROFILE >

FAVORITE COURSE: I really enjoyed taking Images of Africana People in the Cinema, an African Studies (AFR 207) course that analyzed films and discussed cultural and political issues from different regions of the Diaspora. I also really enjoyed Economics of Globalization (ECON 312). My favorite economics course studying abroad in Brazil was, Globalization and the Insertion of the Brazilian Economy.

YOUR PERSPECTIVES ON ACADEMICS: I like how studying economics allows me to analyze current world situations from an academic perspective. It makes me think more intuitively about current events in the news.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING - STUDY ABROAD: After studying abroad in Sao Paulo, Brazil, for the fall of my junior year, I became really interested in international finance, so when I came back I learned more about a five-year dual-degree program that Wellesley offers in partnership with Brandeis International Business School. I am currently working towards my M.A. in international economics and finance at Brandeis and finishing up my economics major at Wellesley. It’s been a great experience to have more exposure to the international finance and business side of the world economy.

FAVORITE THING ABOUT WELLESLEY (OR A WOMEN'S COLLEGE): I really like that Wellesley women are so outspoken. Being around such powerful women has made me more assertive and opinionated, as well as more open-minded.

DREAM JOB: If I could have any job, it would probably be one that would allow me to travel to various parts of the world and help companies make better financial/investment decisions. I would have to be a part of a company that is committed to cultural exploration because in my down time I would want to organize trips for my co-workers. I would tour the area and try to really understand the needs of the people that we are trying to help.

FUN FACT: I have never lived in the same place for more than a few years. I’m an “Air Force Brat” and my family has lived in Georgia, North Dakota, Texas, Turkey, Colorado, Alabama, Italy, Missouri, Virginia, and we are back in Colorado!
