Summary
I am currently a sophomore at John Wood community college here in Quincy Illinois. I am planning to get my associates degree then to pursue my education at SIUE there in Edwardsville St. Louis. I began pursuing a degree in IT and realized I do not enjoy coding as much as I thought and changed it to Business Finance. I have met with some extraordinary people in the field to get a gasp of what it means to be a financial advisor and have begun to love it.
