Background, Personal Interests & Goals
A Chicago native with a family that is beginning to relocate to more temperate climates, I plan to finish my
degree as a full-time student and then look for a managerial accounting position in Florida or Southern Texas.
My interests are varied and include reading, cycling, ecology and volunteer work. I love to explore the customs,
traditions and archeological histories of other countries through travel, and hope to fit in one trip each year
going forward.
