The amount of personal and professional growth I've experienced while at UofSC has honestly surprised me. Through professional experiences such as Finance Scholars and internships, I learned more than I knew there was to learn. And through studying abroad with IBCE and meeting amazing friends both abroad and at home, I grew so much as a person.

Career plans: I want to enter the financial industry and learn as much as I can in my first years. All in all, I hope to follow a career path where I can both financially support myself and feel happy to head to work.

Most impactful experience: One of the most impactful experiences has been studying abroad in both Hong Kong and Taiwan as a part of the IBCE cohort.

Best part of the Top Scholars program: A couple of my closest friends have come from the Top Scholar community. I'll be forever grateful for getting the opportunity to become friends with some of the kindest and most brilliant people I've ever met.

UofSC Story: The amount of personal and professional growth I've experienced while at UofSC has honestly surprised me. Through professional experiences such as Finance Scholars and internships, I learned more than I knew there was to learn. And through studying abroad with IBCE and meeting amazing friends both abroad and at home, I grew so much as a person. I'll forever be grateful for the opportunities I got to experience while at USC.
