How would other people describe you as a person?

People would describe me as a very straight up person. Also not in a negative way, but a little bit inconsiderate. Kind of selfish, I just focus on myself and my future.

What do you do outside of school for fun? Why?

I do MMA. I do that for fun because it just makes me feel good in a different way than other types of sports. Knowing how to use my body and training my body is satisfying.

What career do you want to pursue? Why?

I want to pursue accounting or economics and finance, I just want to open my mind into the world of money, business, and entrepreneurship.

When people get to know you, what are they most surprised to learn about you?

They are surprised that I’m really easy to talk to because I give off this appearance that I don’t like people, which I don’t, but if I engage in a conversation I’m really good at talking to people.

What’s on your phone background? Tell us why you chose that.

It’s just a girl that I had a very good time with when I was in California for the winter break. 

Tell us the story about what you are most proud of yourself for.

I’m mostly proud of being the first one in my family to kind of open myself up in a way to be more financially literate. I know a lot about money and a lot about finance, a lot more than my own brother who already had a bachelor’s in finance  

Who is someone you are thankful for and why?

I’m thankful for my mom just for everything she does. She gave me life, raised me, and takes care of me as best as she can.

What advice would you give to your younger self?

Be careless of others and what they think. Just do you, be yourself, and focus on learning.

What do you hope to be remembered for?

Someone that stands up for what I believed in and represents in a way, someone that’s just reliable.

What’s on your bucket list?

To make money without working
