About

I am an aspiring Entrepreneurship Major who enjoys opportunity recognition. Whether it's being first on a future trend, working to further someone's idea, or seeing a better way to handle operations, I enjoy all sorts of issues that arise within a business. I have strong strategical skills and an academic background in problem solving, idea validation, and the entrepreneurial mindset. My passion lies within serving people. I love the rush that comes from solving a problem by using the skills that I possess. I am able to jump across obstacles to deliver high-performing results. In my collegiate years, I’ve taken on various leadership roles, including an E-Board position within Theta Chi Fraternity (Iota Tau), being a part of a Philanthropy committee, as well as coordinating an event within my course of study. I'm graduating in May 2023, but I am currently able to help anyone with questions regarding entrepreneurship, health, and fitness goals.
