Q: How did the lessons learned while in the Master's Program in Communication Studies at UNT help you in your current position?
A: The number one thing I learned was the ability to synthesize multiple points of view and to construct sound arguments. 
Q: What advice would you have for someone considering graduate school? 
A: I would advise everyone who is thinking about graduate school to figure out what their professional goals are and work backwards to figure out if graduate school is right for you. 
Q: What was the most fun about the Comm Studies department at UNT?
A: Hands down it was the people that I met. I moved to Denton from out of state and everyone was completely open and welcoming.
