About Me

Professional: I have work experience in two main fields: food service/delivery and door to door sales canvassing. I have worked for two different companies in door to door sales, Russell Anthony Exteriors and Homestar Remodeling. I pitched potential customers on signing up for a free estimate on installations of roofs, windows, siding, decks, and patios for their home. I also spent Summer 2021 serving as a Iife guard. gained a vast array of knowledge on the home remodeling industry and developed my social skills and sales techniques along the way

Educational: I am a junior Marketing major at the Smith School of Business, with a double major in Philosophy, Politics and Economics. I am a member of College Park Scholars in the Public Leadership Program. I have enjoyed learning about how leaders develop themselves and techniques to adapt to different leadership situations. I believe that once I complete my studies I will be ahead of the pack for becoming a leader and I will serve as a holistic job candidate and employee. 

Personal: I’ve lived in Maryland for most of my life, I grew up in Perryville but have since moved to College Park. When I was in high school I had a close knit friend group of people I trust and was a 2 time District Champion in Men's Singles Tennis. I enjoy watching NBA Basketball and American Football and spend most of my off time watching shows like House of Cards and The Politician. I grew up in a very small family, my mom being a English Professor and my step-father working for the US Military. I’ve always been taught to work for what you earn and to always look out for other people, and whatever I choose to do I will carry those qualities with me. Being at the University of Maryland and the Smith School has made me a better leader and person and I have developed my own unique methods for leadership as a result.
