Mardi Gras is my favorite festival.
I love going to The Fly, walking around Magazine Street, and grabbing coffee with friends at any local coffee shop!
One of the things I love most about Tulane is how personal it feels. With an 8:1 student-to-faculty ratio, it’s easy to build authentic relationships with professors who genuinely want you to succeed. The university’s strong networking opportunities open doors for professional growth and career support. Being in the heart of New Orleans also adds an energy you can’t find anywhere else; the city’s lively culture inspires community every day. Most of all, Tulane’s non-competitive environment creates a space where students support one another, making it the perfect place to grow personally and professionally.
Visual Communications and Advocacy with Professor Meghan Saas is the best class I have ever taken. It is a design requirement in the Tulane School of Architecture and Built Environment. During the first nine weeks, I created a full organization concept, including its logo, social media strategy, merchandise, and campaign materials, developing every element of the brand except for the launch itself. For the remainder of the semester, our class collaborated with the Legacy Donor Foundation, designing educational graphics for DMVs and driving schools to inform and inspire minors about the importance of organ donation. This experience taught me how design can drive social impact.
