Summary

As a driven and ambitious college student in my senior year at Colorado State University, I am pursuing a sales opportunity that will provide me with a broader perspective of the business world. I am looking to utilize my academic knowledge in Business Administration and Marketing to make a meaningful impact within an organization. My dedication to continuous self-improvement and strong work ethic fuels my commitment to deliver exceptional results. I approach projects with tenacity and an eagerness to learn, always seeking opportunities for personal growth. I have had to navigate personal hardship during my college years after the sudden loss of my father. In addition, my mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2012. My experience of overcoming personal challenges at home has instilled in me a deep empathy and understanding towards others, making me an approachable and compassionate team member. I am eager to bring these qualities to any professional environment including sales, facing challenges with courage and contributing positively to the success of those around me. I believe that my unique blend of skills, passion, and determination will contribute to the success of any team I join.
