I am a passionate, driven and diverse entrepreneur, educated to blend many ideas from different industries and disciplines. While my basic background is in financial management, my other studies have focused on entrepreneurship and business. I have gained a deep understanding of how these two ideas complement each other in the global community in which we live. Translating my understanding into economic opportunities is something that I continue to explore and strive to understand. During high school and college, I ran a number of successful businesses, which has allowed me to maintain a prominent position among non-traditional students and individuals. I grappled with two seemingly separate concepts and brought them together in a way that had never been done before. I am also passionate about the greater good. It all starts with an idea in someone's head, no matter how big or small. Discovering those ideas and growing them can ultimately create something bigger. Many of my younger years were spent in teams where I learned a variety of leadership and complex problem solving skills that I use every day. I look forward to offering what I have and working through adversity or around it. I want to give back to my community and those around me to make the world a better place.
