Favorite Business Professor: My favorite professor at Freeman is Deen Kemsely. Professor Kemsely is the most engaging professor that I have had. He taught accounting research and financial statement analysis in such a way that the courses were collaborative learning experiences—not mere lectures. He also has a wealth of professional and personal experiences that he would perspicaciously inject into the lessons.  

Academic, extracurricular or personal achievement you're most proud of: I am most proud of co-founding Tulane’s first AI club. At Future Minds we were able to provide students the opportunity to connect with other individuals interesting in advancing their understanding and skillset of the most impactful technology of our time, offer learning experiences through open debates, and expert speakers. We have also recently joined the Lepage center for entrepreneurship so I am confident that the club will continue to grow and expand its impact on campus. 

Most important thing you learned at Freeman:  The most important thing I have learned at Freeman is the importance of not just building a network but also leveraging it properly.  

Favorite New Orleans Memory: Exploring new restaurants and bars, especially those offering live authentic New Orleans music.
