Kayla Cuthbert ’28 didn’t always see herself in a boardroom. 在高中生涯的大部分时间里，她都憧憬着未来的医学生涯。 大四的两门课改变了她的人生轨迹。
“I took personal finance and AP Microeconomics, and something just clicked,” she says. “They were my first quantitative classes in this area, and I realized how much I loved thinking analytically, solving real-world problems and asking big questions about how systems work.”
现在，作为乐鱼体育·最新体育赛事资讯、实时赔率分析及在线投注平台学院（Agnes Scott）经济学专业的学生，卡斯伯特正在有目的地利用这种火花。 She has her sights set on a career in finance, followed by corporate law—and she’s already seizing the opportunities that will help get her there.
第一年，她一头扎进了经济学课程，师从露丝·乌韦弗·奥耶尔（Ruth Uwaifo Oyelere）和帕特里夏·施耐德（Patricia Schneider）等教授，他们帮助她提高了技能和方向感。 到了春季学期，她选修了一门300级的课程，这对大一的最新体育赛事资讯、实时赔率分析及在线投注平台来说是一个大胆的举动。
“It was challenging, but it was also exciting,” she says. “That course confirmed for me that I’m in the right major and that I’m willing to put in the effort.”
她最近参加了“经济学拓展发现+”（expanded Discovery in 经济学+, EDE+）暑期项目，该项目将学生带到华盛顿特区和芝加哥等经济和政策中心。 在那里，她参加了诺贝尔奖得主的讲座，参观了影响全球经济政策的机构，并就身份、访问和数据如何交叉进行了深入的讨论。
“EDE+ gave me a more nuanced view of economics, and it showed me that I don’t have to leave my passions at the door when I enter a field like finance,” she says.
她还参加了商业之桥（Bridge to Business），这是一个与佐治亚理工学院（Georgia Tech）合作开展的为期三周的沉浸式项目，旨在将文科思维转化为商业战略，该项目将课堂教学与企业参观、社交活动和现实案例乐鱼体育研究相结合。
“It’s giving me the language and experience I’ll need in the corporate world,” she says, “and it’s helping me understand which areas of business I’m most drawn to.”
卡斯伯特继续探索符合她兴趣的角色和行业，她认为这所大学让她树立了尝试新事物的信心。
“I haven’t just found one mentor,” she says. “I’ve found a community here. The faculty and staff really show up for us academically, professionally and personally.”
Cuthbert knows that studying economics at a women’s college means she’s entering a traditionally male-dominated field with a different kind of power and confidence.
“Agnes Scott is helping me walk into any room knowing I belong and that I bring something valuable—not despite my background, but because of it.”
