Finance
UofSC has provided the friendships of a lifetime and the resources to succeed in areas I felt beyond my reach when I first stepped foot on campus, and for that, I am forever grateful.
Career plans: I plan to pursue equity stakes in businesses, real estate and other assets alongside individuals that I enjoy working with in order to provide value to the world around me.
Most impactful experience: One of my most impactful experiences happened during the spring semester of my junior year. Starting on January 15th, I set out on a four-month road trip across the southern United States. Living out of the back of my brothers Honda CRV, I was able to experience a small taste of the travel I hope to embark on throughout my life.
Best part of the Top Scholars program: The community of driven, ambitious and high-achieving students is the best part of being a Top Scholar. Witnessing what they are truly capable of in the years to come will be incredible.
UofSC Story: Over the course of my time at UofSC, I was fortunate enough to form friendships with fellow Top Scholars, finance alumni and business owners throughout Columbia. In doing so, I have been able to narrow down the focus of what I want to do over the eight decades to follow graduation. Buying, owning and operating businesses, real estate and other assets was beyond my wildest dreams just a few short years ago. Now, I feel well equipped to make each of these goals a reality in the years to come. UofSC has provided the friendships of a lifetime and the resources to succeed in areas I felt beyond my reach when I first stepped foot on campus, and for that, I am forever grateful.
