I have a passion for helping others maximize their financial potential. So many people today are left to be overwhelmed and stressed by the complexity of their finances. Through proven, practiced methods, it is my mission to bring financial clarity, stability and confidence to all. At Lifetime Financial Growth, I am able to do this by utilizing their proprietary planning process called the Living Balance Sheet. This process paired with team-based advising, which enables the full resources and expertise of over 300 fellow advisers, allows my clients to receive the best and most personalized advising available.

After working at the Lincoln Community Center during high school, I knew that I wanted to go back at some point. They are a nonprofit organization that greatly impacts the lives of those in my hometown, most of whom are in need of help the most. During the Summer of 2022 I assisted in educating, entertaining, feeding, and tending to the needs of the 100 children that enrolled in the free Summer Care program. I also job-shadowed and directly reported to the Manager of Operations and filled in for him when he was out of the office. Over the months that I was there, I assisted with and managed tasks vital to keeping the physical appearance of the community center up to par. This included preparing the grounds to be mulched, trimming bushes and managing the installation and upkeep of over $3,000 worth of sod. I also assisted and managed tasks that ensured smooth business operations and well-structured organization. This included giving tours of the building to newcomers, which assisted in the accomplishment of achieving the highest number of applications and attendance in the history of the summer care program. I also helped to prepare for our community Back to School Bash by managing the organization and recording of over 10,000 items of inventory and the recruitment of local barbers and hairstylists to give free haircuts during the event. In my free time outside of completing these projects, I helped care for, mentor, and provide structured education to the children of our summer program and worked along-side the director of the Summer Care Program to construct weekly schedules of activities.

At the onset of the pandemic, a partner and I founded and managed a lawn care/landscaping business. This is where I worked full-time during the Summers of 2020 and 2021, and part time during the summer of 2022, when I solely managed the business while simultaneously working at the Lincoln Community Center. Over the past three summers we partnered with an established local mulch supplier, Chaney’s Nursery, gaining access to their overflow clients and receiving bulk discount on purchased mulch in exchange for provided business and advertisement. As part of managing the business, I recorded all business operations and clientele information on Excel, to maintain professional organization and to allow for ease of business model assessment. This led to constant revision of business structure over time and directly contributed to an increase in profits from $20,000 in 2020, to $35,000 in 2021 (despite working one less month than 2020), and a projected profit of $45,000 in 2022 (Assuming two full-time workers). This revision also led to an optimization of per hour profits during the summer of 2022 ($55/hour). A large portion of the success of the landscaping business can be attributed to the intentional use of a customer focused approach, where emphasis was placed on catering to needs of customers in a friendly, honorable, and respectful way. This was intended to maximize customer satisfaction through being able to provide quality work at competitor-beating prices, while networking and creating client relationships. The use of this approach led to receiving tips on many occasions and reports from Chaney’s Nursery, claiming positive customer reviews via phone call subsequently after jobs had been completed. During my work, I have negotiated, communicated and networked with over 130 clients, engaging in various work: mowing, mulching, painting, tree removal, bush trimming, bush/tree planting, power washing, laying stone walkways, and moving furniture.

This was the first time that I have had a job during my secondary schooling. I had to be at work at 7am four times a week. After working I would have to go home and complete my online schoolwork. This was difficult, but it taught me important lessons about time management and discipline. I also learned versatile skills such as how to work with large machinery and to effectively communicate with coworkers in a labor-intensive environment.

During my time of employment here I was able to work with youth of all socioeconomic status in my hometown through working in the afterschool program, the basketball program, assisting on various fieldtrips, and working as a lifeguard. The Lincoln Community Center is a historic community center that aims to provide free or near-free services to any member of the community. While working here, I was able to meet great kids and had the chance to make an impact on their lives.
