Deciding on Economics

I was interested in eventually working in policy, and economics seemed to me to be the foundation from which all effective policy was based. I felt that having a strong understanding of economics as well as the way economic policy could affect individuals would be invaluable in any policy area I would want to eventually work in.

My EPPS Success

The pre-law team at UTD (shout out Dr. Kirby, Coach Seagroves, and Dominique)! They’ve all helped me tremendously throughout my journey to law school and I wouldn’t be where I am without them.

Advice to Prospective EPPS Students

Reach out to your academic advisors, your professors, your TAs, your classmates, and anyone else you can think of! Connections can be hugely helpful and a large part of my success is directly attributable to people I reached out to with available opportunities.
