About

As a first year student at the Tippie College of Business (TCOB) in the University of Iowa, I strive to gain the skills and knowledge I require to drive myself on the road to being a successful financial and/or investment consultant.
In doing so, I aspire to be, and currently am, involved in multiple student organizations and clubs within and outside of the TCOB using my strong interpersonal, leadership skills to promote diversity and acceptance while creating an inspirational atmosphere at the University of Iowa.
As my strengths include communication, friendliness, inclusiveness, passion, and drive, I believe that I can create and provide harmony in any environment while seeking to work my level hardest to achieve the best in my capacity.
