After completing my master’s degree at WashU, I am now a Ph.D. student at the University of Washington, continuing my exploration in economics. In the AM program at WashU, we learned alongside cohorts from diverse backgrounds, all united by the goal of improving ourselves. I completed my undergraduate degree in advertising with a minor in economics, and the AM program at WashU provided me with advanced training and filled in the gaps needed for further study of more complex topics. I am grateful for the program; the time spent with my cohort and professors was truly priceless. The relationships and experiences I gained at WashU have been essential in shaping my academic path and continue to inspire me with courage and insight.
