My professional journey began in middle school when I transformed a personal hobby into a business idea. What started as a passion for collecting precious metals and antique currency, inspired by my late grandmother, evolved into an eBay store that completed over 800 orders nationwide. Lance’s Liberty Coins was recognized as a top-rated seller, consistently maintaining a 5-star rating.In high school, I expanded my leadership and business skills. I joined the Business Professionals of America club, managed the school corporation's spirit wear store, was a door-to-door salesman, and served as the team captain for both the varsity soccer and golf teams during my junior and senior years.I initially chose to study Entrepreneurship at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, but as I gained clarity on my career aspirations, I transitioned to majoring in Economic Consulting with a co-major in International Business. During my time at IU, I began working with my sister’s media company, LCJ Photo + Film, as a drone pilot and assistant. Additionally, I joined the CEO Club, became a Kelley Mentor, and will study abroad in Barcelona, Spain, in the spring of 2025. My professional interests have sharpened toward consulting, and I am excited to contribute to the growth of numerous organizations in my future career.
