| About Me
Goals When I was first contemplating on what I wanted to do with my life,
I decided I wanted to be a model. A couple months later I set off for Chicago, from my home town of St. Louis,
where I looked for a job, an apartment, and a credited photographer. My dream quickly became a reality and quickly
changed as I started to put myself through college. I still model and it is the main reason I am able to support
myself and take care of my tuition, but it is not my passion.
I am currently a business student with specifics in finance at Northeastern Illinois University. I choose this degree because I felt that I am knowledgeable in all other aspects of business such as marketing, HR, sales, and management; however I did not know much about the quantifiable side of business. I am eager to learn so I can complete the circle. When I graduated I hope to find a position that will introduce me to various sides of the operation, starting with accounting. I feel that accounting is the basis of all organizations. As I develop and learn I hope to be able to travel with my career so I do not have to be in the same environment every day. Eventually I want to start my own business to help the greater good of this state, country, of even world.
Hobbie/Interest
When I am not studying, working, or attending class, I love to play sports such as volleyball,
tennis, football, gymnastics, yoga, rock climbing, or pretty much anything that will get me outside
and active. I love to read and paint. My favorite things to do are travel and try as many things as
I can, especially food! I will try any food as long as it has not killed anyone or gotten anyone sick.
I am passionate about politics, education, and life! My catch phrase is �If you are not growing, you are
dying�. I want to learn many languages one day because I am only fluent in English which means I am only
able to communicate with people who speak English. This limits me. I enjoy animals and the environment. I consider
myself very �in tune� to the earth and being on a mountain top is my favorite place to be. Work Experience
