About
PERSONAL SUMMARY
Welcome to my portfolio! I have recently graduated from Adams State University studying business marketing. As an upbeat, self-motivated team player with excellent communication, I envision an exciting future in the industry. I had a particular interest to become a business marketing major so that I may use what I think are the best of my abilities to their fullest extent such as, hard work, communicating, mathematics, and problem solving.
I grew up participating in many physical sports and hobbies such as football, boxing, and rodeo. There is only one thing that I can tell you about all three, and that is that there is no way around hard work if you want to achieve success. I believe the same goes for anything in life whether it be physical or mental. I find my dedication to hard work, discipline, and perseverance, to be my strongest standpoints. I do not feel myself unless I am working towards my goals or other objectives, and I will apply these attributes toward my potential careers in the future.
I have always found business and marketing interesting and do not miss an opportunity to learn more about it. I hope to show the experience I have gained in a variety of areas with my time at Adams State University thus far that has allowed me to gain knowledge, experience, and a deeper appreciation for the world beyond my front door.
Personal Statement: I am a hardworking individual who endeavors even through the most difficult tasks and will persevere until my task is complete. With a little hard work and a positive attitude, I believe anything can be accomplished. I enjoy learning while listening others, and helping all of those in need along the way.
