Excellence in a Discipline | Economics
What is your favorite Seidman memory?
I don’t have a particular favorite memory. I enjoy working with people there and it has been a smooth experience aided by tools facilitating our discussion.
Our building namesake – Bill Seidman – exhibited many desirable traits of a leader such as innovator, integrity, curiosity and future-minded. How did your experience at Seidman help you develop one or more of these traits?
My experience at Seidman did help fuel my curiosity. There were things we couldn’t cover during class, but my professors were always open to discussing more after class or during an appointment. They would point me in certain directions to further my understanding of a subject. Also, they would give me additional resources so I could continue learning at my own pace.
What would you like people in the community to know about Seidman graduates like you?
I want to work and grow with the community I’m in. I want the work I do to leave a positive effect on people.
What is your career aspiration?
To work for myself, eventually. There are many projects I want to indulge in which bring together my skills, knowledge, and experiences in art, economics, and math. Hopefully, all of these indulgences can be done sustainably.
How did your time at Seidman College prepare you to contribute to your community as a Laker for a Lifetime?
It provided me with some opportunities I would not have had otherwise. The connections I made during Opportunity A would then create Opportunity B.
