About

I graduated from Linden-Kildare High School with a 3.9 GPA and was #5 in my class. I received several scholarships which has helped me tremendously in school. I'm currently an incoming freshman at TAMUC but classified as a sophomore. I am a full-time student pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Sports & Recreation Management. My college experience has been amazing so far i spend time playing intramural sports, involved in organizations, working , and spending time with friends.

Goals and interests

Career goal

My degree would assist me in pursuing a career as a Facilities Director or Marketing Coordinator. On the other hand, my career vision is to one day be able to work for a college or professional team to enhance their program. Therefore, I think that pursuing such a career will provide me the opportunity to better a team, whether its building a platform to put them out in the media or providing a safe facility for fans. However, I am certain if I do not complete my college degree I could never have the opportunity to achieve my career goals.

Graduate school interests

After I complete my bachelors degree, I intend to continue my education to obtain a Masters of Science in Sports Management, which will enable me to gain specialized knowledge to advance me in my field and open me up to more opportunities when trying to find a job.

Outside the classroom

I love to shop, hang with family/friends and play softball and volleyball in my free time.
