From classroom to career, my time at the Fowler College of Business has been nothing short of transformative. Courses like MIS 720 (AI & Big Data) and MIS 748 (Time Series Forecasting) with Dr. Xialu Liu challenged me to think boldly and apply data at scale. Serving as a Graduate Assistant under Dr. Liu and Dr. Taekjin Shin was an inspiring experience that sharpened both my technical and academic edge. 

Beyond the classroom, career fairs and networking events at Page Pavilion connected me with real opportunities, a driven peer network, and industry professionals who shaped my perspective. FCB's commitment to hands-on learning, mentorship, and innovation makes it a powerhouse for aspiring professionals and global thinkers. 

I'm deeply grateful to the faculty, the FCB team, and most importantly — my parents, whose constant belief and support made it possible to thrive at one of the nation’s finest business schools. Thank you!
