I recently graduated from Indiana University's Kelley School of Business with a degree in Finance. I am excited about this degree, because it opens many doors to opportunities in the workforce. It also prepares me for everyday life as I make my way into the real world. Throughout my college experience, I dedicated my time to setting myself up for the future as I headed into the real world. As my years at Indiana University went by, I gained more interest into the world of business. Through the many opportunities presented by the Kelley School of Business such as I-Core, Career Fairs, and guest speakers, I was able to see what I wanted to do moving forward. Another aspect of my life that has shaped me into who I am is sports. During my time in college, I played Big 10 football as a kicker. I will always pride myself on my work ethic, as I was able to graduate from a top 10 business school in 3 years while playing football at the highest level. This was both physically and mentally demanding but has taught me many lessons about myself. I recently transferred to the University of Connecticut, where I will continue playing football as I work towards finishing my MBA.I am excited for the opportunities that await me going forward. I hope to grow and learn lessons that help leave my mark on the world we live in.
