I am a part of the actuarial club and Gamma Iota Sigma. I am also a recipient of the Orlyn Edge Scholarship, the Life Lessons Scholarship, Redbird Scholarship, Shelter Insurance Scholarship, and I am also a State Farm Scholar.
Career Goals
I hope to obtain a job upon graduation, specifically with State Farm here in Bloomington, Illinois.

While I am a student here, I plan on having leadership positions to grow my leadership skills further.
