Bio

I have always been a go-getter. I put my heart stand soul into everything that I do. I am always trying to achieve greatness and prove to my family and friends around me that I worked hard and deserve the success that I have. I am an extremely well-rounded student with an amazing academic history. I not only play three sports and am a math tutor, but I also have over 150 hours of community service. I am a leader in my school as I am the coordinator for most school events as well as the lead chapel coordinator for my Christian school. If I am asked to do something I will do it with everything I have.

    Everyday aggravations are some of the most annoying things that happen. On one particular morning, my shower was cold, I ran out of toothpaste, my car was running on empty and I spilled my breakfast all over my brand-new shirt. All these things individually are inconvenient but not detrimental to my mood, but all put together, ruined my mood for the rest of the morning. I have found that this is the case with most people; they let everyday aggravations change their entire outlook on their day and ultimately their life. I want to help change this. I want to find the needs of everyday normal people and work to fix them. I plan to major in finance. One of the ways I plan to work alongside people to avoid everyday aggravations is by helping them understand their money. Money is often a strenuous tension point and causes much aggravation. I want to alleviate this one aggravation in people's lives so they can be less frustrated in the morning when they need to fill up their gas tank in the morning. My brain has been weird to understand people and firmly grasp math and economics. I want to use both of my strengths to help as many people as possible. Often people look at women and think of caretakers or mothers; they rarely think of Cheif finance officer (CFO) or Investment Manager. These are the positions I look to hold and thrive in while using all my natural born understanding of people understand what the people around me need. Wanting to be remembered is a saying that many people say but few put intentional effort into achieving. People tend to have goals but never take more than a few steps toward achieving them. I am not that person. If I set a goal I will set my mind to achieving it. When it comes to being remembered I want to not just be remembered for my work but for my heart. I want to be remembered as a person with the warmest hug, the person you can call late at night when you're having a bad day, and the best encourager on the planet. I want to help others achieve their goal. I want to be remembered as someone that was not self-centered but cared for others and their success and well-being. I would imagine the world would be lonely if you are the only successful person, so I want to build a community of successful and caring people that can then help other people help people. This intern will drive the entire community to do their best in everything while also caring for those around them.
