Why did you choose ESTEEM?

I chose ESTEEM because it gives me the hands-on, real world skills that I will need to successfully start and/or run my own company in the future. I am excited and grateful to have the opportunities I have here at Notre Dame to really make a difference and help others through the lens of business and innovation.

What do you hope to do after ESTEEM?

After ESTEEM, I hope to find a position that allows me to explore my passion for working with people and finding and creating real-world solutions. Long term, I aspire to either start or run my own business and to make an impact in the lives of others.
