What do you like best about your major?
As an economics/mathematics double major, I love being able to engage with my curriculum through both quantitative and humanistic lenses. Being able to think critically about data, economic theory, and pressing real-world issues makes me excited to work in public service and contribute meaningfully to improving community/ individual well-being.
What do you love about liberal arts at Georgia Tech?
I am so grateful for the flexibility and versatility of an Ivan Allen College degree. As one of the smaller colleges on campus, I feel privileged to benefit from the wealth of opportunities exclusive to our community as well as the advantages of studying at a renowned public research institution. We get to experience the benefits of a small liberal arts school experience within the greater context of the amazing university that is Georgia Tech!

What do you like best about your major?
What I like most about Economics at Georgia Tech is that I will graduate with a Bachelor’s in Science rather than Arts. This will allow more room for me to explore careers because of the technological focus. I added International Affairs into the mix as-well, and I like it because I an able to get a good view of the world through policy so that I am well versed enough to make change in the future.
