I proudly hold a 3.91 GPA and have earned a place on the President's List twice since beginning my program. I waited to attend college until I knew exactly what I wanted, and once I discovered my passion for HR, I committed fully. I serve as the Assistant Director / HR Generalist at I Adore Athletics, a youth enrichment program where I lead recruitment, manage employee relations, support payroll accuracy, and coach staff development. My professional goal is to return to a corporate HR setting where I can make an impact, support leadership, and help employees thrive.

Returning to college with a clearer sense of direction has given me the opportunity to approach my education with a new level of focus and purpose. After completing my Associate of Arts in Business Administration, I plan to transfer to the University of Houston to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Supply Chain Management. I am particularly interested in procurement and strategic sourcing, and eventually I hope to build my career within Houston's energy, chemical, or industrial sectors. I am drawn to industries where supply chain and procurement play an important role in keeping large and complex operations running successfully.

After recently graduating with my AAS in Business Administration and Management, I am actively building upon my leadership background to achieve my goal of managing within a corporate setting. Lone Star College has equipped me with vital strategic, analytical, and operational management skills to lead diverse teams and drive organizational success. Outside of academics, I stay active in my community through church volunteer work and commit daily to health and discipline in the gym to strengthen my mind, body, and soul. My most valued trait is that I love helping people! I feel most successful when I can help someone excel in their goals!

I am so excited to be a part of LSC's new BAS in Early Childhood Education and Teaching innovative program! The timing was impeccable, as I was just about to transfer to SHSU to continue my education. I have a passion for education because it wasn't always the most welcoming or inspiring part of my life, and I think that it should've been and it should be for future students. I look forward to teaching Math to third through fifth graders in a Klein elementary school. I hope to perhaps one day even move on to a school board and help bridge the gap between administrators and teachers' needs.

My coursework gave me the opportunity to develop practical skills through hands-on projects in visual communication, web design, digital media, and technical design. Lone Star College helped me develop practical skills with professional design software and project-based coursework. My education strengthened my technical abilities while also teaching me how to communicate ideas clearly, solve problems, manage projects, and take creative work from an initial concept to a finished result. My goal is to build a career where I can combine technology, design, and problem-solving. I am interested in opportunities involving web development, IT, CAD drafting, visual design, and other technical or creative fields where I can continue learning and developing professionally.

After high school, I took a gap year and entered the workforce while trying to figure out what direction I wanted my life to take. Everything changed when a colleague recognized my creativity and encouraged me to take a free Adobe course. What began as simply learning a new skill introduced me to marketing and showed me how I could combine creativity, storytelling, and strategy into a career. My long-term goal is to either launch my own marketing agency or become a Creative Director or Project Manager within a marketing agency. You do not have to have everything figured out before you begin.

I'm a business student at Lone Star College and a U.S. Army veteran. My coursework - from business ethics case studies to organizational structure discussions - has let me apply real-world experience, including lessons from my time in the Army, like mission command and decentralized decision-making, directly to business concepts. I'm working toward project management certifications (CAPM and PMI-CPMAI) while building out QR Morgan Metals LLC, a commission-based copper scrap brokerage, and Don Roe LLC, an apparel brand - both moving toward eventually sitting under a holding company. I'd describe myself as an enthusiastic, innovative character - willing to think differently, even when it stands out from the norm, because that's often where the best ideas come from.

I am currently continuing my education to fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming a teacher. Alongside my academic journey, I work professionally notarizing papers, which has helped me build strong attention to detail and strong community connections. Lone Star has helped me prepare for my career journey in so many ways. Most notably, the resources and opportunities here supported me in securing a great professional role at iEdu. My goal is to complete my degree and step into the classroom as a certified teacher, using my skills to inspire, support, and educate the next generation of students.
