About

I am a tremendously motivated fifth year engineering student, studying mechanical and aerospace engineering at the great University of Florida. Recently, I completed a minor in business administration to augment my degree. Upon graduation, I seek to build a career in industrial sales or a similar technical field. The goal is to share my spirited passion for modern engineering with others while cultivating leadership skills and technical knowledge in a professional setting.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I will be responsible for account management for a large corporation specializing in industrial equipment. I have recently accepted a full-time position with Otis Elevators to begin this job path in July, 2022. I have interned with Otis for two summers and they have shown that they value growth within their employees. With that being said, I seek to apply to various schools to complete my Master's in Business Administration (MBA). Afterwards, I expect to stay with Otis Elevators and assume more responsibility within the company as a senior employee. In the distant future, I would be interested in either branch management or an executive position within the company.

Graduate school interests

I am looking to apply to the following schools for their MBA programs:
-University of Miami
-University of Florida
-Florida International University
Specifically, I will be interested in each school's professional MBA programs so that I can work full-time and attend one of these programs at night and/or on the weekends.

Outside the classroom

-Sports of all kinds particularly Miami teams
-Outdoor life including the beach, hiking, etc
-Gym training
-Avid movie buff and tv geek
