I have a varied and vast work history. I have coached High School debate teams, I managed an independent bookstore, I have been a landscape foreman, a courier, and a bread baker. I have recently returned to UAB to complete my undergraduate degree in General Studies with concentrations in Linguistics, History, and Philosophy. I will complete my degree at the end of the Summer 2020 semester. My eclectic journey provides me with a unique perspective and secure confidence in my ability to perform any task and to excel in any position.
