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.
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.
