Professional Experiences & Goals

I'm going change the world.

I don't know how it will happen. I don't know when it will happen.

Right now I feel like a redwood seed planted in infertile sand.

All I know is that where other people have found a spark, I have found an inferno.

I have a drive to learn everything. I want to know more and experience the human spirit and human emotion and share my journey and mantra of improving everyday. I want to bring people together to live the life that they design. I want to surround myself with people who have a contagious, enthusiastic passion.

I'd like to work for someone who shares in my drive for learning and is doing something innovative, interesting, and different. Maybe a start-up with fresh vigor and vitality. Maybe a well established company with a unique culture and purpose. If I'm a redwood seed, I want to be surrounded in rich soil, surrounded by people who aren't afraid to reach for greatness.

Profile

I appreciate you taking the time to look this over. The one thing you need to know about me, is that I believe in bettering myself in everything I do and helping the people I surround myself with, in whatever way I can.
Currently, I’m in my second year at Santa Fe College in Gainesville, FL. I’m transferring to the University of Florida to attain my degree in Business Administration in about 1 year. I’ve got a twin brother named Gavin, and Destin is my hometown. I love the outdoors and sports, whether it be Rock Climbing, Mud Runs, Mixed Martial Arts, Hiking, Skydiving, Jet skiing, Whitewater rafting, etc. I currently have a 4.0 GPA.

All of this while checking people inn and out and helping out wherever I could. Through this experience, I learned how a high-end establishment is run.

I’m a people person and motivated to succeed wherever I am. I work well with others, have a positive attitude, a need to help, and like coming up with new and innovative suggestions to improve upon things I’m involved in. I’m an AP Psychology Scholar and have a diverse knowledge of social dynamics. I prioritize well and pride myself on being punctual.
Recently, I attended an exclusive seminar called Start With Why by Simon Sinek (who has mentored several fortune 500 companies), where he speaks about leadership and building a company culture that matches their reason for existing.
