Summary

I am a sophomore at the University of Louisiana Lafayette studying marketing with a strong gravitational pull towards sales. I am interested in a summer internship that will allow me to combine my current academics and skill sets with new growth and exposure within the hospitality industry. I am eager to learn how to create more positive experiences for others while offering a particular product or a service.

Created my own non-profit to help the homeless.

Compassion is defined as sympathetic concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others. It pained me to drive by the homeless. I felt completely helpless and wanted to do my part within my own community. I knew I couldn't fix the homeless situation, but I could play a small part of easing the pain they experienced. I wanted them to know they were loved and cared for my strangers in their paths.

Own charity: NEVER WITHOUT

Compassion is defined as sympathetic concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others. It pained me to drive by the homeless without feeling completely helpless. I wanted to do my part within my own community. I knew I couldn't fix the homeless situation, but I could play a small part of easing the pain they experienced. I wanted them to know they were loved and cared for my strangers in their paths. I created my own charity, NEVER WITHOUT, to distribute the basic supplies to help the homeless within my reach. I have been published in local news for this creation.
