Goals and interests
- Career goal
The energy industry today faces an onslaught of challenges including: grid modernization, energy independence, technology improvements, regulatory oversight, strict environmental requirements and sharp political division on how to move forward. My intended job path is to continue to grow and learn in the energy discipline so that I may add value to American energy businesses, utilities, power producers and developers years down the line. I believe my environmental and business finance background will provide the appropriate skills to energize investment in the industry and breakthrough some of the challenges mentioned above.
- Graduate school interests
Obtaining an MBA with a specialization in Finance is my goal at graduate school for the next two years.
- Outside the classroom
I live in Colorado and really enjoy backpacking through the Rocky Mountain National Park in the summer and skiing in Vail and Breckenridge in the winter. I also enjoy mountain biking, rafting, running and playing in my flag football league. I have been learning to play the acoustic guitar for about a year and a half now and I'm really enjoying getting the hang of some songs!
