I graduated from a small town high school in Pennsylvania in 2017. For my senior year, I was accepted and attended the Entrepreneurship Academy at LindenPointe. Along with creating and pitching a business plan, the program exposed me to a network of leaders and students that accentuated my individual skills and passions, as well as help set goals for my future.
After eAcademy and high school graduation, I took a gap year in Colorado to further hone in on myself and what I wanted to do with my life. I worked as an outside service attendant and caddie at Cherry Hills County Club in Denver. I interacted with high level members and guests to maximize their golfing and country club experience. During the winter months I worked at Family Sports Center ice rink, as a rink attendant. While working full-time, I learned to appreciate the value of post high school education. I also realized how much there was to learn and better myself in order to be successful as an adult.

What is your greatest strength and how do you know?
Self-awareness.
My whole life I have been an easy-going person. I never let emotions completely control me. Which I feel allows me to learn and adapt to new situations and people quickly. Being very self-aware and confident with myself has allowed me to be more empathetic towards others and carry a positive outlook on life.
How do you work best?
I work best in a relaxed environment. If I am alone, I prefer a quit coffee shop or study area with calm music to stay focused on the task in front of me. Being able to step away from any distractions is a must. If I am working with a group, I prefer a friendly and driven group of people that are able to be mature and helpful.
