Why did you choose to attend Catholic University and the Busch School?

Catholic is located in the nation's capital, which gives you so many things to do. I also run for Catholic which allows me to be a student-athlete. "
Why do you want to be in the business world?
"Business is all around us. There will always be a demand for jobs in the business world. Also, there is a high demand for accountants during this state of the economy, which made me want to major in accounting."
What's been your favorite part of being a student at Catholic University?
"The inclusivity of Catholic is what made me enjoy being a student here. Numerous clubs are available for membership, facilitating opportunities to acquaint oneself with new individuals. The private nature of Catholic as an institution ensures a familiarity with everyone."
What advice would you give to prospective students?
"Don't be shy to ask for help. College can be overwhelming at times and can't be done on your own. The professors at catholic have been former CEOs or worked at a big corporation. These professors possess a wealth of knowledge to aid in your academic and professional development, enhancing both your skills as a student and your desirability as a prospective candidate in the workforce."
