Tell us a little about yourself.  

Hardworking, ambitious, and passionate, I have navigated a challenging life journey that has strengthened my resilience and drive to succeed. I am actively seeking business ventures and collaborations with like-minded individuals who share a growth mindset. I enjoy meaningful, intelligent conversations and believe that great opportunities often begin with great connections.

Why are you excited to participate in Shad? What are you most looking forward to?

I am most looking forward to meeting new people at Shad! I hope to meet lifelong friends or maybe even future business partners! I love to make new connections, especially with people who have the same interests that I do. Also, I am very excited for the engineering and math laboratories that will be offered at Shad.

What sparks your curiosity or interest in STEAM and/or entrepreneurship?

My interest in STEAM and entrepreneurship comes from a dream of making a change in the world. I would like for my knowledge and passion to leave a mark in my community. I idolize many small-town successful business owners who run their business through their love of helping others not through greed. The goal for my experience with Shad is to expose myself to challenging activities in all areas of STEAM to prove to myself that I can grow!  Entrepreneurship is my passion and a huge part of my drive to keep pushing for a better future.

How do you envision your future?

I envision a future where I never stop growing and pushing myself to learn. I see a great community surrounding me and supporting me. I also wish to have many successful projects. Whether that is entrepreneurial projects, community projects, or personal, I simply hope that it all plays out how I envision it in my head.
