Summary

Member of the Wayne Huizenga Business Innovation Academy (HBIA)

I am currently enrolled in the 3+1 program at Nova Southeastern University, where I will earn my bachelor's degree in my third year and my master's in my fourth. Through hands-on business experience at Powerhouse Lighting, an architectural lighting design company, I discovered my passion for entrepreneurship and a desire to continue my family's legacy. My goal is to launch my own startup, leveraging internships and real-world learning opportunities to build the skills necessary to become a driven and innovative entrepreneur. I am eager to learn from mentors and industry leaders to reach my full potential.
