Adrian Jimenez
Tucson
Summary
My name is Adrian Jimenez and I am attending the University of Arizona studying Business Management at the Eller College of Management.
I was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona where I had always been drawn to the University of Arizona. I decided to become a wildcat and have since been admitted into the Eller College where I have been involved in the Eller Hispanic Honorary and have been given the opportunity to intern at Granite Construction.
For over 30 years my father has worked in construction after migrating from Mexico, and he has instilled his experience within the industry and has made me passionate in not only being interested in how businesses operate within, but how businesses are built from the ground up. Through this, my passion for operating businesses grew and has guided me to wanting to make my community a better place no matter the industry I find myself in.
