3. About Me
I am currently a senior studying Advertising and Marketing at
Northwood University. Originally from the Metro Detroit area, I
have been interested in the entrepreneurial spirit since a young
age. I am captivated in companies with like-minded individuals
who are interested in history, politics, technological innovation,
entrepreneurship, and small business growth.
I learned the importance of honesty and providing good
customer service at an early age working at Bay Pointe Golf
Club. Since then I have developed these skills while working in
retail interacting with customers in the storefront setting.
Being an involved member in the community is very important
to me. I give back through volunteer service on and off campus.
I also hold an Executive Board position for the Alpha Sigma Phi
Fraternity and the Inter-Fraternity Council on campus.

4. Goals
• In May 2015 I aspire to graduate with a bachelor’s
degree in Advertising and Marketing.
• Upon graduating I hope to earn an opportunity
working for a growing company where I will be
challenged and motivated to do my best work.
• Once established with a company, I would like to
use my experience, creativity, and motivation to
move up the corporate ladder.
