Summary
I have held a number of jobs in different work environments before college which helped build many skills such as time management, money management, and how to effectively work with others which helped me prepare for the future. I'm currently a Sophomore at North Carolina State University where I'm studying Business Administration with a concentration in Information Technology and a minor in Commuter Programming, I have balanced academics with a variety of volunteering, work experience, and campus involvement. Some of my biggest campus involvement has been through my fraternity Phi Kappa Tau. I was elected as the Vice President of Recruitment for the 2023-2024 term on the fraternities executive board. The fraternity holds an average GPA of 3.35 and achieved nearly 1500 hours of community service this past semester and just won Fraternity of the year for NC State because of these accomplishments. I pride myself as being a driven leader that can fit a variety of roles and positions.
