Why I chose my major

After changing my major numerous times, I finally found my passion in applied consumer analytics. I love how this major has many opportunities and really encompasses so many things I enjoy. Once I started with my consumer economics classes I found myself in more and more housing classes and discovered how interesting they were. I decided to add a second major in housing because I knew I wanted to learn as much as I could.

What I like most about FACS

I love how everyone in FACS is truly like a huge family. The students and faculty all strive to make each other better. The faculty cares about the students and they do their best to help us achieve our goals. I am very lucky to have found lifelong friends within our wonderful college.

Post-graduation plans

I am going to return to FACS in the spring to start my FHCE master’s degree with an emphasis in Applied Consumer Analytics through the Double Dawgs program.
