I am a first generation, 4th year student at La Salle University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I’m currently studying Accounting and in addition, have a minor in Finance. I have been employed since the young age of 16 and while simultaneously attending school full time. Over the years I've had the opportunity to strengthen many personal and professional skills. One of many being time management. Since having to focus on studies and work, I have mastered the art of time management. Both school and work are equally important to me. I firmly believe that education comes from of course learning in the classroom and real life, hands-on experience. With that being said, I decided to work an average of 40 hours a week and at the same time thrive in college. Speaking of hands-on experience, I've had the opportunity to work on many projects with my peers, my favorite being the Business 100 Business Plan. This project strengthened my teamwork, communication and innovation skills. Also, from working with other students, I've grown comfortable with working with a diverse group of peers to complete an important goal. Besides my work and school life, I am passionate about the Fashion and Beauty industry. I recently joined the La Salle University Business of Fashion Club. In this club I have been able to express my genuine passion for fashion and the beauty world. I’m always interested in expanding my knowledge and experience in this aspect of my life.
