Summary
Currently a junior at Quincy Senior High School, where I maintain a 3.8 GPA while taking rigorous AP coursework and competing on the Quincy Blue Devils varsity baseball team. In addition to my high school studies I am enrolled at John Wood Community College for my senior year to further challenge myself academically and accelerate my college goals. I plan to attend Mizzou in the fall of 2027 and complete my bachelor's degree within three years before sitting for the CFP exam. My long-term goal is to become a financial advisor. I am highly self-motivated, disciplined, and committed to developing strong leadership skills while gaining real-world experience through shadowing local financial professionals.
