Why Miami?

From the moment I first stepped on campus, Miami felt like home. I was searching for a welcoming community that valued both academic and personal growth. I knew Miami was a place where I could foster my love of learning and build close relationships with my professors and peers.

How did you choose your major?

In high school, I became greatly interested in sociology and psychology. I also had a drive for business. Majoring in Organizational Leadership has allowed me to combine these passions into one focus area. I added Psychology as a second major during my sophomore year because I wanted more of a focus on how organizations can use social psychology to build community in teams.

Key Moment at Miami

Prof. Aaron Abbott in the Department of Sociology and Gerontology has led me through so many experiences at Miami. He helped me to get involved with Social Innovation Weekend, mentored me during my time as an undergraduate associate, and encouraged me to add a second major in Psychology. Through his classes and additional guidance, I have learned so much about the world of organizational leadership and strategic management.

Advice to Prospective Students

Go where it feels like home. Knowing is a feeling, not a strategic guess. Miami has provided me with opportunities to professionally and academically achieve my goals, while fostering an environment of care and friendship.

What are your career goals?  

I would like to attend a graduate program in industrial organizational psychology. I see myself working on a corporate level for many years while earning a Ph.D. in psychology along the way. Before retiring, I hope to become a college professor and share my love of organizational psychology with the next generation.
