From Dekalb, IL
*University of Iowa Junior majoring in Management & Organizations (Entrepreneurial Management) seeking an internship for the summer of 2017 with a dynamic organization where I can utilize my experience gained through academic coursework and collegiate involvement, and with previous work and internship experiences, to quickly add value while gaining valuable business exposure.
I have the ability to sense what others around me are feeling and use that as a way to include them in I conversation and activity. When there is a goal in mind, it is my deepest desire to ensure it's accomplished. If a problem arises, I am able to find an alternative way to go about doing things to ensure the task gets crossed off the list. I also find myself able to communicate my thoughts and ideas so that everyone around me can understand.
At this point in my academic career, I am pursuing my interests in mathematics and management: double majoring in finance and management at The University of Iowa through the Henry B. Tippie College of Business.
I strongly believe that I am in control of my own destiny, and that is one of the main reasons I am pursuing my passion of becoming a social entrepreneur.
I am the CEO and Co-founder at ClassValue: an ed-tech start-up aiming to reinvent the role of an academic advisor.

Marketing and Growth Intern at Backspace®
I am responsible for company growth through online marketing and growth hacking.
-With the app Backspace, everything you post disappears after 24 hours. It’s almost a mixture between a Snapchat, Mystory and Instagram
-The app is set up like Instagram, and users are able to post pictures and videos for their followers to see. Each post has a time limit of 24 hours, but the lifespan of your post extends every time one of your friends likes your post
-Your influence and popularity on the Backspace app also plays a role in adding to the lifespan of a post. For new users, if they like a post, it will add two minutes to the lifespan of the post. If a person has more followers or “influence” their like will add possibly ten minutes to the lifespan
