About
I am an Honors College student majoring in Marketing at Florida International University. Throughout the years, I have been very involved in the School of Business and campus in general. I was the Vice-President of Service for Phi Theta Kappa, the honor society at Miami-Dade, and the Chair of Communications for Phi Beta Lambda. While at Miami-Dade, I maintained a 3.92 GPA which landed me a spot in the Dean's List every semester. Aside from my academic work, I was active in the community as well by participating in several community service projects. While at Florida International University, I plan to run for a position at the Golden Key International Honors Society and the National Society of Collegiate Scholars.
