About

After spending ten years working as a cook and chef in Chicago, I have found my way back to school where I'm finding a renewed sense of purpose and potential. Today, I'm studying Business/Economics at the City Colleges of Chicago, and I plan to transfer to the University of Illinois, Chicago to complete a Bachelors degree in Economics.

Education

  • Truman College

    Business/Economics

    2015 – 2017

Goals and interests

Career goal

I'd like to utilize my education and intelligence to work towards making this country and planet a better place. I hope to continue to study economics and apply that toward a career in research and analysis. In the long term, I'd like to work with research institutions, Universities, or the government on policies that help encourage equal prosperity and opportunity, especially to communities that are typically underserved.

Graduate school interests

My goal is to pursue a Masters degree in Economics from the University of Chicago.

Outside the classroom

In my free time I like to ride my bike, excercise, write essays, and cook meals for my family. But, my favorite hobby of all is to play with my 7 year old daughter.
