AEASP 2024 Scholar Brian Roper-Nelson

Brian Roper-Nelson, a junior Economics major at North Carolina A&T, originally got interested in economics because he loved how it combined data, history, math, and intuition to describe and explain the complexities of the world. A member of the executive board of the Aggie Economic Association, he is deeply interested in the intricacies of macroeconomics and its intersections with law. Brian has an ardent interest in pursuing a Ph.D. in Economics to apply this interdisciplinary knowledge toward making the world function more efficiently. Beyond his academic ambitions, Brian spends his free time enjoying basketball, history, hiking, and spending time with his family.
