Hello, my name is...

As a current student at Aurora University, I am committed to excellence. I have been fortunate enough to work with several companies to create informational content, providing me with invaluable experience to develop my skills and networking abilities. In whatever I do, I firmly hold to the scripture which reads: "Work heartily as unto the Lord and not for man, knowing that it is from the Lord that you will receive the reward of the inheritance." In everything I do I devote myself to succeed. I have maintained leadership roles in athletics and ministry.

Below you can read more about my education, experience, and skills.

Skills

Leadership
I have been in leadership positions as a team captain and campus ministry leader.

Teamwork
I have also been in many situations that require me to be a teamate, namely football. To succeede, everyone needs to do their part.

Creativity
I have also been in many situations that require me to be a teamate, namely football. To succeede, everyone needs to do their pa As a designer, creativity is critical to success. Being able to think outside the box of conventionality can give yourself an opportunity that others don't have.

Perseverence
In athletics and life in general, we all face hardship and difficulty. I have been through many circumstances that break me down and beg me to quit. However, I pushed through when it counted most. It is not how many times your fail, but rather, how many times you get back up.

Intrinsically Motivated
We live in a culture that lacks motivation in many respects. Many see work as a chore rather than an opportunity, a burden rather than a path to success. I have a gift to find motivation within myself to succeede and strive for greatness even when it hurts.
