If you could change the world with your degree what would you do?

I would try to start more programs for young women who want to be a part of male-dominated majors.

What advice do you wish you had heard as a Freshman?

I wish I had learned to not be afraid, to get more involved, and to apply to more programs within the John Chambers College of Business and Economics. I was hesitant because I did not know if I was qualified enough when I should have just gotten more involved my freshman year.

What do you predict the business landscape will look like in 10 years?

Artificial intelligence will become more well known. This is exciting because although it might seem like AI can take away jobs, it actually can enhance businesses. For example, using an AI system to decide what music to play based on interests of the guests in attendance to lead to a better customer experience.
