About
I am a sophomore at Penn State University Park. I am studying economics. In the spring of my sophomore year and in the fall of my junior year, I plan to study abroad. That is a huge goal of mine because of the experience gained by immersing myself in the daily activities of a different culture to gain the perspective of that culture. I am very goal oriented. I have become proficient in German. I am a certified tax preparer through Liberty Tax, and I have run three marathons. I am also competing in an Ironman in July of 2017.
