Big Life Wins:

Imediatley after graduating college, I diagnosed with cancer. Fought the physical and mental battle and went through all of the treatment required. Since surviving, now advocate for those going through cancer and share my story with others both in person and over social media with those with similar experiences. Giving back is important to me.

Post MBA Goal:

To go into a more forward looking finance role such as investment banking and or corporate development. Would ideally like to get into something more strategy focused to help companies grow their revenue rather than operational work. I speak Spanish as a white male and give back to the latino community.
