My favorite college memory is the great, life-long friends I made while attending UT.  I’m a data-driven marketing professional in the aerospace, consumer finance, and consumer durables industries. I helped introduce beds into the first and business class cabins of airlines around the World.  The SPE-GCS Scholarship definitely helped me finance my undergraduate education at a time when my family's finances were unstable.  My advice to students is to pursue your dreams, and always approach problem-solving with a structured, logical approach, the approach you learn in a technical curriculum. This applies to any industry and any problem you face.
