Summary

Hello, I'm a recent graduate with a degree in Political Science and minor in Economics from the University of South Florida, maintaining a strong 3.5 GPA and consistent membership in the Honors Society all four years. My versatile background encompasses thriving in dynamic environments, as exemplified by my tenure as a Starbucks Barista in a high-volume airport context and as a Head Barback and Bartender at Bar@548. Beyond this, my journey has included meaningful contributions to micro-finance initiatives, crafting grant appeals, and developing comprehensive business models for rural Ecuadorian businesses. I've also been an active participant in FEMACorps, where I played a pivotal role in disaster relief efforts following Hurricane Matthew and the severe flooding in Baton Rouge, involving tasks such as cleanup, survivor assistance, and data analytics.
