I am a natural leader whose curiosity fuels my endless pursuit of learning. Through years of internships and job experience I have gotten the opportunity to work for a DI college sports team, a startup academic advising company for student-athletes, and a well established billion dollar corporation. This has provided me a lot of perspective that you will find valuable for your company. I'm very excited to use my experiences to help your company exceed expectations!
