As a motivated college freshman with Kelley aspirations, I actively pursue opportunities to build on my past experiences. I am focused on further developing my entrepreneurial and leadership skills through academic coursework, extracurricular involvement, and networking with industry professionals. I plan on doing so by joining the Jewish in Business club at IU. I continue to apply my strategic planning, problem-solving, and innovation skills in my studies and new projects in classes like K201 and Economics. Additionally, I remain committed to community engagement, regularly volunteering and contributing to initiatives that make a positive impact.My entrepreneurial journey began in Grade 9 with the launch of Kicks MCM, a wholesale sneaker business that sold over 2,500 units to clients across the U.S., China, Canada, and the Dominican Republic. This venture deepened my understanding of e-commerce and international markets, teaching me to manage inventory, build customer relationships, and leverage social media for promotion. Alongside this, I held leadership roles such as President of the Investments & Markets Club at Byram Hills High School, where I organized seminars and stock trading simulations to introduce peers to finance. Additionally, I developed an athletic apparel line through the Startup Year 1 & 2 program, where I secured seed funding and worked with mentors to bring a prototype to life. These experiences provided a strong foundation in business development, strategic planning, and pitching to investors.Looking ahead, I aim to pursue a career in management, entrepreneurship, economics, and finance. I am eager to explore the intersection of these fields through internships and real-world experiences that will allow me to refine my skills and broaden my perspective. My goal is to lead impactful ventures that drive innovation and create value for communities and businesses alike. By leveraging the strong foundation I’ve built in leadership and problem-solving, I am determined to make meaningful contributions to the business world and beyond.
