Accomplishments

- Dean's list all 4 years of high school

- Launched 2 successful small businesses over the summer of 2024: Chicagoland Mulchers & Car Central Mobile Detailing Services.

- Having an entrepreneurial spirit, I managed and started both businesses, with Chicagoland Mulchers doing over $20,000 in gross revenue, and Car Central (started with a partner) doing over $10,000 in gross revenue. I am proud to say that I accomplished these start-ups because I was the middleman, not the worker. I found a gap in the market solved it.
