About

I've always done my best academically and college was always in my plans after high school. I've been playing basketball since I was 5 years old and all I've dreamed of was playing basketball at the Division I level in college. Although I had a decent career as a high school basketball player, I did not receive an athletic offer to play for any Division I school. I am now focused on attending a university of my choice and majoring in Banking and Finance. I still dream of playing basketball in college, but know that I will have to 'walk on' to be able to attain that dream. However, my dream of becoming a trader on Wall Street is attainable and I won't take my eyes off the prize.
