Why I chose my major

During my first couple semesters at UGA, I tried out so many different classes to learn what I
was passionate about. I am so grateful to have found this program. My degree has opened my
mind to a range of topics and real-world challenges. I feel empowered to make change inside and
outside of the classroom thanks to my major.

What I like most about FACS

FACS is such an exciting place to be on campus. I have truly enjoyed the smaller classes and
hands-on learning. My professors have all had incredible careers and professional experiences I
have loved learning from. In my opinion, there is no better place on campus!

Post-graduation plans

I will be staying at UGA to pursue a master's degree in Applied Consumer Analytics.
