About
Born and raised in Tempe, Arizona, I was always surrounded by the endless opportunities that Arizona State University and the surrounding schools offered. I'm currently a Sophomore at the W. P. Carey School of Business, where I'm pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Management. Soon I hope to add a second degree in Business Technology, due to an interest in honing my skills with Photoshop and the rest of the Adobe Suite as well as the Office Suite.
All of my experiences thus far at ASU have been amazing and beyond my greatest expectations; and I could not be more proud to call ASU as the university that has taught me so much academically, but also on a personal level. I've received opportunities to hold leadership positions in different organizations ever since my first semester on campus, and through those I have really grown as a person, discovering my values and perfecting and changing my leadership abilities.
I have a love for traveling and developing my skills in any way possible, so I am currently seeking internship opportunities that will help me to further develop my technology skills and will help me to build my portfolio.
I also have a small photography business of my own, that I started in October of 2013.

Goals and interests
- Graduate school interests
After I finish my bachelors degree, I plan on continuing at Arizona State and getting my masters in Business Administration.
- Outside the classroom
I've grown up doing a lot of different things, from playing ice hockey with all boys since I was 8, to playing viola in chamber and symphonic orchestras. My love for leadership and management started in high school when I took the presidency of Orchestra, and was a member of the student board for the Arts Department my junior and senior year of high school. I was also in the National Honor Society during those years, and joined theatre, where I was lead scenic designer for 5 shows.
Coming into Arizona State, I've joined multiple clubs where I've become a member of leadership teams, some of which involve photography, outreach, and marketing.
I love to grow and adapt as a person, and broaden my already wide spectrum of skills, and I'm constantly trying to find new challenges and new opportunities.
