Summary
I am currently a third-year student at San Jose State University pursuing a degree in Business Administration, Entrepreneurship, while also being a devoted ambassador and team lead for the San Jose State University College Corps program. My work experience has allowed me to truly develop my leadership, problem-solving, and public speaking skills as I actively participate in serving my community through my engagement in park clean-ups and through presenting projects to students in resource limited elementaries. After my graduation from university, I am aiming to go into a business work environment that allows me to showcase all of my skills while also being a fast and adaptable learner.
