How did you decide on your major?

I chose International Political Economy as my major because of the way it combined several things I was passionate about. The entire major promotes interdisciplinary study while still allowing for the flexibility to do things like study abroad. In addition, I have found IPE faculty and students to be some of the most involved and supportive on campus.

My EPPS Success

The thing that was most key to my success in EPPS was getting involved on campus. Your peers are an invaluable source of inspiration and aid. Organizations are an incredible way to create a support network at UTD, and they also provide a level of ownership and responsibility which has positively impacted my entire undergraduate career.

Plans for the Future

After graduation I plan to pursue a JD. I am interested in one day working in technology law, international law, or serving in the judiciary.
