Summary

I am currently pursuing a degree in Psychology with a minor in Business Management at Northern Arizona University (NAU). I am passionate about small business management and have a strong interest in politics, with a focus on how both fields intersect with human behavior and community development. I am a dedicated, hardworking, and results—driven individual who thrives in collaborative environments and embraces new challenges. I bring a strong work ethic, excellent communication skills, and a genuine desire to make a positive impact. I am open to volunteer opportunities where I can apply my knowledge and skills to real—world situations, while continuing to grow both professionally and personally.
