Student photo

I chose philosophy, business, and psychology for their broad range of applications in the world. I enjoy solving problems and challenging the way things are done; these three subjects give me a potent toolkit to do so. Philosophy provides the reasons for solving problems, Psychology informs how to solve those problems, and business equips me with the tools needed to make those ideas a reality.
