Summary
I'm a Division I soccer player at Virginia Military Institute, majoring in Economics and Business with plans to graduate in Fall 2026. Balancing academics, athletics, and the demands of a military environment has strengthened my discipline, time management, and leadership skills. I’ve always had a strong interest in entrepreneurship and have pursued various ventures—from drop shipping and selling products to running a YouTube channel, creating sports graphics, and organizing community soccer events. These experiences have taught me how to take initiative, adapt quickly, and work well with others. I’m eager to apply my work ethic, creativity, and business mindset to real-world opportunities where I can learn and add value. With a strong work ethic and a willingness to learn, I aim to contribute positively to any organization and am excited to explore opportunities that align with my skills and interests in business.
