I am a first generation student and graduated with a Bachelors in Business Administration with an emphasis in Finance. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to own and operate a business in my early 20's which I was able to transfer to another women owned business owner. I enjoy learning, bettering myself and pushing myself out of my comfort zone. Doing an MBA has always been a goal of mine and I can't think of a better place to study in the world than the Silicon Valley, the center of innovation. It took mentorship and people who believed in me to get to where I am at and I would like to be an example and help others reach their potential.
