About
I am a full-time student at Grand Canyon University pursuing a degree in Business with a focus in Accounting. Alongside my studies, I work full time at Santander, run my own business, Twisted Cheesecakes LLC, and serve as a licensed life insurance agent. Balancing school, entrepreneurship, career, and family has sharpened my skills in leadership, time management, and perseverance. Recently, I made the Dean’s List, which reflects my commitment to academic excellence while maintaining my professional and personal responsibilities. My goal is to combine my business and financial knowledge with my entrepreneurial spirit to create long-term impact in my community.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
My intended career path is to become a financial professional specializing in accounting, financial planning, and wealth management. I aim to integrate my academic training with my real-world experience in business and insurance to help individuals, families, and organizations build strong financial foundations. Long term, I plan to expand my financial services career into leadership, mentoring, and eventually establishing my own consulting and wealth management firm.
- Graduate school interests
I am interested in pursuing a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with a concentration in Accounting or Finance. This would strengthen my expertise in financial strategy, auditing, and management, while also preparing me for leadership roles in both the corporate and entrepreneurial world.
- Outside the classroom
I enjoy cooking and experimenting with new recipes, vlogging to share my personal and professional journey, spending quality time with my daughter and husband, and finding creative ways to inspire others through business, education, and faith.
