Embarking on the college application journey, I quickly realized that each institution would make me choose between the ideals of a good community or good opportunities. Because of the excellent faculty, programs, and location here at TCU, as well as the stellar student body, I immediately knew that TCU would give me both the community and opportunities I was looking for. I was instantly drawn to the fact that TCU not only wears its colors of purple and white with pride, but also its core values of "Integrity, Engagement, Community, and Excellence" with a pride that inspires me to be the best investment trusted in me as an individual able to make positive change in this world. I chose TCU because I know that this place I now call home will allow me to learn from incredible academic programs, make connections with spectacular people, and contribute to a blossoming Horned Frog legacy.

Going into the corporate world is where I believe I will marry my values of professionalism, achievement, and contribution. My ultimate plan for post-grad includes receiving an MBA on scholarship. To get myself to that goal, I seek to achieve that by applying to be a Neeley Fellow, completing as many internships and opportunities provided through the Neeley School of Business, and creating the most well-rounded version of myself through involvement in business, student government, and service related clubs at TCU. Additionally, as a business and music double major, I’d like to use the music education I receive from TCU to gig at local venues, continue finding connections, and further my commitment to musical expression.
