What is your most memorable college experience to date?

My most memorable experience has to be celebrating making the Dean’s List. I haven’t had straight A’s since elementary school and I was able to achieve that last spring semester.

 Where do you want to be in 10 years and how can this internship help get you there?

I want to be successful in my career field. This internship could provide more insight into professionalism and how to market myself.

 What does philanthropy mean to you? (It’s okay if you don’t know much about philanthropy) I don’t know too much, but I understand philanthropy is when people with a lot of money fund programs/organizations that align with their beliefs. These programs/organizations typically assist the less fortunate, whether it’s through bettering education, health, or supplying food and clothes. To me, philanthropy is necessary to keep our world running.

 What excites you the most about spending your summer in Baltimore?

Meeting my co-workers and forming a meaningful and fruitful relationship with them.

 What is something you are passionate about?

I’m passionate about providing for my family and loved ones.

 One fun fact about yourself

I played tennis all four years of high school. I was pretty good, and I’ll beat ANYONE who challenges me during this internship opportunity.
