I am a Colorado local, born and raised in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. I go to school at Fort Lewis College where I am getting my degree in business economics and my minor in ethics. I am passionate about my ethics courses and plan to relate them to my future business endeavors. Among my academic achievements is the Phil Weiser Financial Literacy Award and a member of the Beta Alpha Si accounting club. I am also the team captain of the Fort Lewis College lacrosse team where I cultivate my leadership skills, teamwork skills, and leadership abilities. Growing up in Colorado I have always enjoyed conquering the state’s elements, harsh terrains, and unpredictable weather. These match the complexities of the business world. Just like navigating Colorado's rugged landscapes, business requires preparation, adaptability, and perseverance, succeeding in business demands a similar mindset. The ability to conquer treacherous peaks, adapt to changing environments, and lead with a steady hand are qualities that I bring to every opportunity and endeavor.
