Goals and interests

Career goal

My father owned his own business in Orlando, Florida for nearly twenty years until his passing in November of 2015. I have grown up watching him conduct business with customers in person and over the phone. He instilled the knowledge in me of good self representation and integrity. I greatly enjoy working with the schools as fundraiser, and I would hope to expand the locale of schools to neighboring counties and hopefully the state.

Graduate school interests

After earning a Bachelors degree in Business Finance from The University of Florida and continue onto a Masters degree in Business.

Outside the classroom

I am an amateur painter and photographer. I also study the writing forms of movies and directional techniques to their films.
