Plans
In the future, I plan on pursuing a degree in Data Science, I love to solve problems and create plans or framework to properly execute budgets, plans and data driven findings. I plan to not only attend a university, but to immerse myself into campus life, resembling my present actions. I want to educate myself while working at a local restaurant, volunteering at and regularly attending the local Catholic Church, leading and advising clubs and activities, and playing golf or intramural softball.
