U-M and LSA have had a tremendous impact on me and my professional success. Through my LSA education, I learned how to think and analyze, skills that served me well as a lawyer and in finance. Succeeding as an economics major gave me the skills and confidence I needed to succeed in my career. I believe a liberal arts education is a critical backbone to success in any field and have chosen to serve on DAC to support and foster liberal arts and its importance in creating innovative and creative thinkers.
