Dance taught me more than I can express. I learned how to carry myself and read a room. I learned how to express my truth and stand for what I believe in, and how to communicate that to others impactfully. I know these skills will transfer into my professional career for the rest of my life. Neuroscience taught me how to be a critical thinker and showed me that I too can influence the scientific advances of tomorrow which I hope to begin to do through marketing and communications.

I wanted to find a career path that allowed me to apply both of my majors, math, and computer science. I became interested in machine learning/AI because it was a field that included both software development from computer science while also using logic, calculations, and critical thinking skills that I have learned in the math department. Both of these majors challenged me with intense problem-solving tasks time and time again, which will be helpful in the machine learning/AI field.

My coursework in issues related to political polarization and national security first brought me to the study of disinformation and extremism through several internships with the Center on Terrorism Extremism, and Counterterrorism out at MIIS which piqued my interest in these issues. I continued to dive into these issues in various courses across departments (Political Communication, Anthropology of Development, etc.) and ultimately completed a senior thesis studying QAnon, one of the most virulent online extremist movements, and their disinformation campaigns.

My coursework in the International Politics and Economics (IP&E) major, the History minor, and elective classes in American politics taught me both the importance of strong communication skills and furthered my passion for government’s important role in a strong democracy. At Middlebury, I was put into rooms with professors and classmates who shared values and passions for this work and inspired me to pursue roles in this field.

Middlebury’s economics major is well-diversified and this lends far in developing different skill-sets best suited for a range of jobs. My ECON major allowed me critical thinking and analytical skills, and quantitive (yes, Regression helps…) and qualitative skills alike. Outside of obviously relevant learning about the economy, business cycles, and how different central banks and firms react to such situations, it is the overall thinking and skillset that the ECON major that influenced my professional development most.

Quite frankly, most Middlebury majors hone useful ways of problem-solving and nimble skillsets. If anything, my diverse coursework at the College has taught me more than the ECON major alone ever could have; that finance jobs necessitate an economics major is nothing but a myth.
