Aloha! I’m a sophomore Business Management candidate at Old Dominion University who is originally from Honolulu, Hawaii. I’ve served in the United States Army for 9 years. This portfolio will demonstrate my passion for finance and traveling as a young professional. Hard work and determination are key aspects in defining what I am. I realize that the only limit to success is myself, and therefore as a non-primary Spanish speaker it is beneficial to immerse myself in a language and culture which I’m not accustomed to. Throughout my experience in the military, I discovered a core of strength that propels me to conquer any obstacle life may throw my way. It also gave me the confidence that I can do amazing things when I put my mind to something. I believe that by transitioning that mentality to my academic career; the sky is the limit.
