About Me

I am currently a graduate student at SSU working towards getting my MBA. I studied Business Administration with a concentration in Management and graduated in May 2015. I was also a SSU Snow Club Officer and assisted with planning events and coordinating fundraisers. I come from a family of entrepreneurs and have been exposed to hospitality, food service, contract labor, property management, and most recently retail sales businesses. My experience outside of my family businesses directly followed my primary interests. Cooking, Cars, and Computers are three fields I have always been interested in. I pursued cooking as my first passion and obtained my culinary arts and serv-safe certificates. After working at several high end establishments I opened a restaurant of my own. Several years later I decided to explore my other interests and ended up working with one of the largest collision repair facilities in California. There I learned a lot about corporate structure and got some first hand experience working with insurance companies. Currently I manage a retail feed and pet store while continuing my education. In my leisure time I enjoy operating a small scale reptile breeding venture, catering events for friends and family, doing mechanical or cosmetic work on cars, and building and repairing computers.
