Throughout my time earning my business degree, I chose to heavily focus on growing my abilities as a leader. During high school, I was exposed to leadership opportunities that fueled my drive to want to become someone that others would look up to. Not only look up to, but depend on, consult in when they are facing the unknown, seek for a word of encouragement and push toward motivation, and I want to be the one that people have confidence in to right a wrong.

I was beyond fortunate to enroll in leadership classes at Old Dominion University. These classes taught me the true meaning of being a leader. They taught me distinction between a leader and just another manager. They taught me how important it is to know the operations and people so that you can effectively lead an organization. Most importantly, they taught me that a leader can never be overeducated.
