Summary

I graduated from Gwynedd Mercy University with a Bachelors degree in Business Management. During my time at Gwynedd Mercy, I was a member of the Mens Lacrosse team and Investment Club. Since graduating, I have gained both residential and commercial construction experience. Through the skills I have learned as a student-athlete and in my field experience, I have developed a willingness to learn and constantly strive for improvement.
