Why I chose my major

I came into college not really knowing what I wanted to do career-wise, but after talking to some FHCE faculty I found the consumer economics major to be a really fun and interesting split between economics and analytical skills that also gives great real-world skills and experience with data.

What I like most about FACS

The faculty are all extremely personable and willing to help you with anything, whether it be related to class or your college experience in general.

Post-graduation plans

I will be here at UGA for another year pursuing a master's degree through the Double Dawgs program.
