Favorite Tulane class/professor...

One of my favorite professors at Tulane is Anthony Wood. He co-teaches the incredibly challenging finance course, Burkenroad Reports, with Professor Peter Ricchiuti, and they are amazing. I learned more in Burkenroad than I did in any other finance course at Tulane, and Professor Wood goes above and beyond for his students. I love how he incorporates his own experience to bridge the gap between textbook finance and the real world. I enjoyed the course so much that I returned to work for program.

My favorite spots in New Orleans are...

Some of my favorite restaurants are Saffron, Saba, Scrambled, and Luca Eats. My favorite spot to listen to live music is Blue Nile on Frenchman St.

I chose Tulane because...
