I chose Tulane because...
I chose Tulane because Tulane genuinely gave so much to my community whether that be medical access, post hurricane support, and even killer crawfish. I wanted to make a positive change in my community and I knew Tulane was the place to learn how to do that!
My favorite NOLA festival is...
There are to many festivals too pick! One stand out festival is the Cajun Zydeco fest which acts as a smaller and more local centric jazz fest. It has great live music, food, and art exhibits.
Favorite Tulane class/professor...
My favorite class at Tulane was Tech Innovation and Commercialization. It was a small class consisting of 7 people where we designed and launched business ideas with the help of professionals. We got to learn the ins and outs of what launching a product in the medical and tech field looked like.
My favorite spots in New Orleans are...
Any spots that involve food! I am a big foodie and enjoy going to local restaurants (I do have a list of over 200 local spots on my phone). The restaurant I went to most recently was Adolpho's on Frenchman St.
