Throughout my education and work history, I have learned what it takes to succeed. I have held several different leadership and management roles which have taught me a variety of life skills. I feel a crucial skill is the ability to work with anyone I meet. In many instances, you cannot control who you are working with, so ability to get the most out of any team member is critical to the end goal of completing the assigned task.

After dedication and focus I was able to reach the rank of Eagle Scout from the Boy Scouts of America. Approximately 4% of children that start in Scouts finish their Eagle. This took many years and countless hours. I held numerous positions, taught younger Scouts skills, and completed National Youth Leadership Training. I was often put in charge of managing Scout projects.

I hold a BASSET certification as well as a Food Safety Manager certification that allows me to operate a restaurant or bar with all the proper training.

Eventually I want to create my own company. I want to make the world a better place, providing help for those in need. After speaking to bar patrons, I would like to develop a company that provides veterinary supplies to shelters and clinics at an affordable costs. There are many organizations that try to provide care for countless animals yet are limited by the supplies they can acquire. If I could find a way to produce these supplies at reduced costs, it would mean more animals could be treated and have better lives. Before I can think about starting my own company, I would like to work for a large manufacturing company in different departments to get a better understanding of what needs to be done in order to be successful. There are many skills required to be a successful business owner. I realize I need more work experience to help me understand what those skills are and how to improve on my current skill set. 

I also have many travel goals. It is important to see other parts of the world to better understand cultures and lifestyles. To work with a diverse team, you need to have a better understand why they are making their decisions. I also understand they will confront tasks or problems with different solutions from myself. Beyond understanding others, I value exploring, comprehending and developing new ideas and potentially items for a business. There are so many experiences to have and new undertakings to try that I want to make the most of any opportunity I come across.
