What has been the best part of the BBA学者 Program?
这个项目让我与考克斯学院的教职员工建立了联系, facilities and programs as a first-year student which is not typical. I have become close friends with some of the brightest students in the 考克斯商学院, and I love seeing my fellow Scholars in my upper-level business classes!

What has been one of the most fulfilling opportunities you have had on campus, 课堂外?
I was a 2013 winner of the SMU Big iDeas Business Plan competition, which allowed me to receive SMU funding for my start-up company. 收到这笔赠款对我的帮助太大了!

你做过哪些实习工作? 你的职业规划是什么?
In my sophomore year, I applied for an internship with The Boston Consulting Group (BCG). I used the Cox Career Center for case interview prep and then did five rounds of interviews between Dallas and Chicago and finally got an offer. 作为实习生, I worked on the restructure of the Latin American division of a Fortune 500 company for 10 weeks. 我每周都去旅行，玩得很开心! I just signed full-time with them and am the youngest person to receive a full-time offer at BCG. After my semester abroad in Sydney (spring 2016) I will do another summer internship with BCG in BRAZIL! I will start full-time with BCG in Chicago in August 2017.

为什么选择SMU Cox?
I was won over by the faculty at Cox ever since the first time I visited campus. It's a gift to have such a consistent, high level of dedication from the faculty and staff! I have had support at every level of my academic and career search from professors, 辅导员, and career advisors who not only helped me succeed academically but also connected me with career opportunities! 随着越来越多的公司和公司来到达拉斯, Cox is such an incredible resource for me to realize my career dreams!

What has been one of the most fulfilling opportunities you have had 课堂外?
I'm an aspiring CPA and really have a passion for accounting. 就在我在新大考克斯的头三个月, I was able to participate in a case competition sponsored by Deloitte and have since been offered a spot in their WiNning program which focuses on women in business and provides mentoring and networking opportunities. 在我第一学期结束的时候, I was offered a summer position with one of the Big Four accounting firms in their tax practice. It was such an eye-opening experience to work in the real world so early in my academic career. The opportunities Cox presents to its students have exceeded all of my expectations above and beyond!

为什么选择SMU Cox?
My sister started going to TCU while I was a senior in high school and when I went to visit her I thought I’d check out nearby colleges not named TCU. I was immediately drawn in by the beautiful campus, the amazing tour, and the people. Once I received all my admission decisions from colleges, 我选择了新大，而不是东海岸的一些名校, 因为新大的人让我觉得自己被重视了. Since then I have fallen in love with SMU Cox and couldn’t see myself anywhere else.

What has been one of the most fulfilling opportunities you have had 课堂外?
I have been lucky to be a part of so many fulfilling opportunities at SMU. One has been working to get a new student center for SMU’s campus. 去年我调查了其他学校的学生中心, 向全体学生分发调查问卷, 为项目创建了一个资金提案, and helped present to the SMU Board of Trustees on the project. To our surprise they immediately passed the project through to feasibility studies with the goal of it being completed within a couple years. 从那时起, I have been appointed as a Student Representative to the Board of Trustees 体育运动 Committee and been tasked with being a student representative to the design process of the new project. I also started working for the marketing team within the Athletic Department my sophomore year, around the time the Mob student spirit program started at SMU. The job started as merely helping with promotional events, but I had ideas on how the Mob could improve and incorporate the student sentiment. 他们不仅用了我的想法, but I became their sounding board for all developments, which has led to me becoming the link between the Mob and 体育运动 and founding the Mob leaders program.

你最喜欢的一门课是什么?
In many classes I have had great professors and great opportunities, but there is one class that I am in now that is fantastic, 国际泳联5232投资组合实习. This class allows me to put my finance education to use and manage an industry section within a portfolio of stocks valued at a few million dollars that goes into the school’s endowment. 然而，这门课的独特之处并不止于此. We have an open forum at the beginning of class where we get quizzed on what is going on in the world of business from the stock market, 从经济状况到政治. To top it all off we hear from important speaker most weeks, 包括新大的首席投资官.

你做过哪些实习工作? 你的职业规划是什么?
My sophomore year I interned in London as part of the SMU London Internship Program; I highly recommend that program. The next summer I did an internship at Ernst and Young in their Business Advisory Program. 我玩得很开心, 认识了来自全国各地的人, 旅行, and learned a lot while working for a Fortune 500 bank. My career plans are still up in the air, but I am looking towards management consulting. I decided on this route to help continue my education in the business world and use my nerdy problem-solving talents, 热爱卓越, 以及其他帮助他人的能力.
