"You will either step forward into growth, or you will step back into safety" - Abraham Maslow.As a graduating senior with a B.S. in business administration with a concentration in international business and specialization in global operations management, I have found that my growth isn't bound within an academic setting. Regardless of the skills learned, knowledge gathered, and connections made. Having helped manage a small real estate marketing firm, I have cultivated experience in operations, business development, strategy, sales, negotiation, and customer relations.From the West Coast to across the Pacific in New Zealand, I have absorbed and curated the necessary work ethic, empathy, unique perspective, and experience to be an exceptional value-adding leader and partner in any organization or situation. I hope to do so in a way that promotes industry-leading economic performance without compromising environmental and social responsibilities. I continue to seek new experiences and opportunities to grow both my professional and personal life in consulting, analytics, operations, or other business development positions.
