Background:
I’ve been a Metro State student for a year and a half. I plan on graduating in the Spring of 2009 with a degree in marketing. Before Metro I completed my core classes at Arapahoe Community College where I was the only student to receive both the Mile-Hi Optimist Club of Denver and Arapahoe Sales Professionals scholarships. I also work for Vail Resorts as a sales representative and Starbucks Coffee Company as a shift manager. As a Colorado native, I grew up enjoying the outdoors and mountains by snowboarding, hiking and camping. The mountains are where I seek peace of mind from my busy schedule. I grew up the oldest of four and I truly enjoy my big family. Outside of work and school I try to stay active by playing soccer with a variety of recreational teams around Denver. Soccer is one of my passions where I’ve built solid relationships with outstanding people
