About

Currently, I am a rising senior majoring in Business Banking and Finance at Allen University in Columbia, SC with a GPA of 3.4. I sincerely view my opportunity of obtaining a college education as a blessing that is not as common in my community as it should be.In addition to college, I have devoted a great deal of time developing leadership skills and volunteering in my community. Being active in academic and other organizations on my campus is an additional way for me to gain experience working with diverse people.

Goals and interests

Career goal

My interest in finance dates back to my years in middle school, where I learned stocks, bonds, and trades. In the 6th grade I was introduced to financial savings through a game orchestrated by my teacher. After winning, I realized that I could implement these strategies in real life. So, I began applying them in my everyday life and I saw a positive change in my money management. In high school, I took an online course on stock market training outside of my required curriculum. After gaining that knowledge my hunger and desire for investing grew stronger and stronger. During that time I decided that I wanted to be a Stock Market Trader.
