Summary
As a USF student in the rising major of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, I have learned about the motivations, successes, and fears of business owners. During my time at USF I discovered a need for a new challenge and joined the Marine Corps where I sharpened and put into practice my leadership principles. Now that I have returned to USF to finish the last semester of my degree I am looking ahead for my next challenge.
