Why I chose my major

I wanted to develop a strong foundation in financial literacy to help myself, family and friends and the larger community. Financial planning provides an avenue to help others make healthy financial decisions so they can reach their goals more quickly and effectively.

What I like most about FACS

The outstanding professors, advisors and other staff members. It has been a pleasure to work and learn under people who care about the success of students and have a real passion for their research.

Post-graduation plans

I plan to join a fee-only RIA firm in metro Atlanta as an associate financial advisor to further develop my skills and expertise in financial planning while providing a meaningful service to families across Georgia. I also aim to pass the CFP exam shortly after graduation.
