About

I am currently a Freshman attending Lamar University, I have applied for the Reaud Honors College, and have a GPA of 3.8.

I was the Salesman of the Year at the Vans Store in Parkdale Mall in 2015; since I'm entering the business field, this achievement seems relevant.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I am currently employed at the Vans store in my local mall. With this job I have attained a year's worth of management experience in which I plan to use later on in life. My career outlook has always involved management, but I figured that if I am to become independent by any means, I need to understand the Accounting aspects of business. Essentially, I look to get hired on by an Accounting firm, learn the trade, then eventually branch off to acquire a business, or open a franchise.

Graduate school interests

My university offers a program in which individuals seeking Masters degrees may attain one in five years. I chose a business major because I would very much like to have an MBA. I plan to work hard and achieve this goal, invariably.

Outside the classroom

Solving Rubik's cubes and similar puzzles,
Rock Wall Climbing,
Bowling,
Tennis, and
Table Tennis.
