I Currently hold a Bachelor’s of Science in Business Administration with and Emphasis of Study in Marketing and a Minor in Latin American Studies. My degree was achieved while excelling in a full-time management position, receiving multiple promotions with increasing responsibility.

My studies were not limited to business; I am also versed in the fields of communication, international relations, ethics, humanities, and sociology. 

ASPIRE TO INSPIRE
A great leader is measured not only in their ability to grow, but also their ability to create an environment in which others can succeed. As a leader I am driven by motivating, teaching in the moment, and communicating effectively in order to drive results. I have a hands-on management style and develop strategic plans for team members which allow others to exceed both personal and organizational expectations. 

MY MISSION
I hope to share ideas and connect with other intellectuals who have a passion for all things marketing. I hope to gain the opportunity to travel. I am driven by constant growth, both personally and intellectually. I aim to have a Master’s Degree in Business Administration by 2017.
