I'm a second-year student in the Master of Science in Applied Economics (MSAE) program. I’m passionate about the intersection between economics and human behavior, especially in social and economic contexts, and using technology to uncover insights and bring solutions that can benefit communities, companies, and society as a whole. I earned my bachelor’s degree in accounting in 2018 and spent over four years working as a finance, tax, and compliance auditor, and consultant in Colombia for several companies in diverse industry sectors. Now, with the MSAE program’s STEAM pathway, I’m thrilled to be advancing my skills in data analysis and preparing for a job market full of opportunities.

Hello! I'm Dafina, pursuing my master's in International and Development Economics. Originally from a developing country, Kosovo, I've grown passionate about understanding the challenges and identifying opportunities in fostering sustainable economic growth and reducing inequality. This inspired me to pursue development economics and explore how the tools within policy and economics can make a tangible difference. Feel free to ask me about the IDEC program, research opportunities, or adjusting to a quantitative program without an economics background.

Born and raised in San Francisco, I’m a scientist with five years of experience in the biotech industry. I’m passionate about drug discovery, delivery and medical writing. Outside of the lab, I enjoy an active and creative lifestyle: hiking through nature, baking in my free time, and frequently traveling to explore new places. I share my adventures with my tiny maltipoo, who adds a playful spark to my day to day life.

Interested in how USF can set you up for success in the Sports Industry? I’m Georgia and I’m pursuing my master’s in Sport Management. After receiving my Bachelor’s in Sport Management in 2019, my curiosity to learn more in depth within the sports industry led me to USF where I have gained the confidence, knowledge and experience to make a difference wherever that may be. Currently it’s at the high school I am employed at and eventually it could be at one of my many dream jobs. Feel free to ask me anything about classes, professors, internship opportunities, even possible job opportunities associated with a master’s in Sport Management and the unique network within the University of San Francisco
