I am currently enrolled in my first semester of graduate school at Appalachian State University, as I bring a strong foundation from Florida State University, where I graduated Cum Laude with a degree in Finance. Additionally, I am a student-athlete on the Appalachian State football team and have acquired priceless life lessons that will serve me well in my future career. Football has instilled the virtues of teamwork, resilience under pressure, and leadership. Moreover, it was necessary that I develop exceptional time management skills, due to balancing a full-time academic workload with over forty hours of weekly football activities during the season.
