Summary
My specific interest is in Business and Entrepreneurship with a consideration in Engineering. My biggest goal is to take my creative ideas and turn them into products that people can use daily. By doing so, I will help bring solutions to daily life and make a positive impact in the world and provide people with jobs. Currently I hold a patent pending status on one of my inventions pertaining to a child accessory and safety device that will soon come into market. I enjoy learning about everything and willing to explore all options that give me new ideas for these innovations that will help bring value, efficiency, and effectiveness in the world.
