Community Involvement During College

Through Gamma Iota Sigma I have helped clean the streets of Normal, Illinois. I also tutor children whose families would not be able to afford tutoring outside of school.

Other Campus Involvement and Personal Accomplishments

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. I also would like to pass at least three actuarial exams before I graduate from Illinois State University. While I am a student here, I plan on having leadership positions to grow my leadership skills further.
