Tell us something about your thesis – your research, your findings, or what you learned:
My thesis explores the field of nonmarket strategy and how business organizations utilize strategies and tactics firms can utilize to influence the social and political spheres.
What was your most memorable experience as an Eccles student?
As an Eccles Student, my most memorable experience has been the opportunity to apply my learning outside of the classroom through travel, case competitions, and real client work. Through these experiences, I have not only enhanced my skillset but met and developed relationships with the most amazing people.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank, acknowledge or shout out?
I want to give my sincerest thanks to Bonita Austin. Not only was she my thesis mentor, but she also mentored me as a Goff Fellow. Having the opportunity to learn from her was one of the most valuable experiences of my undergraduate career.
