Summary

I am currently looking to leverage my passion for the rich industry for sports marketing/management. When I arrived at Northern Illinois University as a Freshman, I never thought I would join a Fraternity, let alone become the President. By simply opening myself up to the possibility and leading with my enthusiasm and determination, I was able to rise to the top position within my Fraternity in only my sophomore year of school. I know that I can bring the same energy and determination to any organization and take on whatever may be thrown my way. I love taking myself out of my comfort zone, and with a lifelong passion for sports along with my studies/experiences and desire to be the best version of myself each day, I have no doubt about maximizing my potential wherever I go.
