I grew up in the small town of Acushnet, Massachusetts. Growing up I was a part of many sports teams, and win or lose I always took the lesson about life away from each team that I played for. At a young age I made a decision that ultimately changed my entire life, and I am thankful everyday that I chose to head down the path that I did.

Over the past couple of years I have been looking at the world around me and asking myself "How can I make this run better?" This question has been asked at cruise and airport terminals, inside hospitals when visiting sick loved ones and around campus.

I am currently studying at the Isenberg School of Management where I am on pace to obtain a Bachelors Degree in Operations and Information Management with a minor in Economics in December of 2014. I would like to use this degree to be able to help people, either working for a medical company or optimizing travel conditions.

My short term goal is to obtain a supply chain or project management internship during the summer of 2014, where I can take the set of skills I have obtained over my lifetime and contribute them to team related projects.
