I am very interested in business and finance. Because of this interest, I decided to take part in DECA, placing every year in the state competition and competing at the international level; I am now the finance officer. I also started and founded my own investment club called Young Investor Society, which teaches students financial literacy, and we meet bi-weekly to discuss the economy. Through leadership, I stay active in the community. I also participate in Unified Volleyball, Best Buddies, and Youth Driven, where I was taught how to foster and build community. I also built a community not only through school volleyball but also through club volleyball, where I made many friends. I also have work experience as a busser at the Coast Guard House, a salesman at Big John Leyden's Tree Farm, and a security guard at Bonnet Shores Beach Club. My future goal is to one day start my own business in the finance industry as a financial advisor.
