How has Dickinson prepared you for life after graduation?
My work in quantitative economics in addition to psychology at Dickinson has given me exposure to a strong background in statistics and applied research. By embracing the liberal arts and taking a wide breadth of courses that truly interested me, I found my passion for this cross-discipline intersection, the study of behavioral economics, and so much more. I'm really interested in how people make decisions, and, in fact, I’m fascinated by the psychology behind economics. I often ask questions related to how markets work, how consumers make decisions, and what can businesses do to make sure their products meet consumers' expectations. I am excited to apply what I have learned throughout my experiences at Dickinson to my career.

What are some of the defining moments of your Dickinson experience?
My time at Dickinson was most impacted by studying abroad in Málaga, Spain. I lived with a family from the area and took all of my classes in Spanish. Living with a local family helped me experience their culture and practice speaking the language. The classes were challenging and taught me about international perspectives. Exploring the city and traveling to nearby areas expanded my horizons, while friendships formed with other students in the program enriched my experience.
