Why do you work for RASL?

While I have a background in International Business Administration and feel like I wouldn’t be the same person without my deep interest in academics, I also always have had a passion for all things creative. I love to create my own art, both in written and visual format, and love to attend dance performances. I think it is great that our Dual Degree program allows students to combine academic and creative pursuits. Through this program, we help students gain a transdisciplinary view of the world that surrounds us all. I truly believe these students will be able to make the world a better place, and I am honored to make a contribution to this.
