My motivation
I am motivated by wanting to be the best that I can be in all aspects of life. I like to surround myself with friends that share the same outlook on life so we can encourage and challenge each other to be better everyday.
My latest accomplishments
I recently completed my senior thesis in the dance department that combines both my business and dance majors through developing a business plan for a working dance studio.
Next big goal
My next goal is to get my first job out of college and to move to somewhere I've never lived before.
Why is choosing your own path important?
Choosing your own path is important because it is what determines happiness. By following the crowd, it is easy to get swept up and forget about what you are passionate about. By forging your own path, you shape your future, your happiness and your success.
