I am a current Full-Time Recruiter with Southwestern Advantage; this is the oldest Entrepreneurial program for college students in the United States. I have always wanted to be in business ever since I was in high school, although I never really knew what type of field. I've had mentors that have made an impact on me throughout my life and I one day realized the constant between each of these mentors was that they made an impact on everyone that they had the chance of coming in contact with. Ever since that eye-opening realization I have been set out to be in the business of building people.

While searching for internships as a sophomore in college, I found Southwestern Advantage. While getting to know the program and Leaders in the program I began to read about personal development and the idea of controlling your attitude. These two concepts came at a critical point in my life and since then I began to take ownership for my actions, and found the value of consistently getting outside of my comfort zone.

Today I devote most of my time recruiting, training, and developing the next generation of Dynamic Leaders by passing down the principles I have learned throughout my 3 years with the company. I hope to share what I've learned to help the next generation of leaders learn from mistakes and get ahead of the rest in both business and personal life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couch surfing to hopefully find a good connections for our students in the program in upstate MS this summer! We are looking for a nice family to host our students, of course we are extremely respectful and work hard all summer so we are rarely there. Our students are doing this program to pay their way through school so we are looking for something relatively cheap and EXTRA safe.
