My passion for international business is fueled by my desire to be a female business leader in a world that continues to become more interconnected through technology and global commerce.  

I have prepared for this world with business studies, math studies, and in-depth language studies in both Spanish and French.

Now I want to attend Georgia Tech's Scheller College of Business to further develop my business acumen and access opportunities for internships and co-ops with Fortune 500 Firms right here in Atlanta.
