I use my challenges as an approach to produce new ways to optimize my daily experiences. Life's too short to take the long route; efficiency and creativity through technology is what I strive for. I am a 4th year student studying Business Analytics at the University of South Florida. As I am finishing my educational career, I am actively applying to internship opportunities that will lead me to my goal of becoming a business analyst. My educational focus is in database administration, and I have experience with SQL Server, SQL Server Data Tools, and Microsoft Office applications. I excel in collaborative groups where I can learn from peers, provide my own input, and find a way to merge all of our ideas into a greater solution.Florida is my favorite place on this planet, and people who know me can assure you that I will find a way to talk about my home state within the first five minutes of meeting someone. My love for Florida is the reason that I believe investing time in my community is fundamental to the development of my state. In the past, I have volunteered for a Non-profit organization in assisting workers with disabilities develop soft skills. I have also served for a juvenile arbitration program that gives first time juvenile offenders the opportunity to resolve their offense.
