Why did you choose USFSP?
By accident, growing up in the area I said I never wanted to go to USF. After completing my A.A. the only school I applied to was UCF. I wanted to get that “college experience,” however one month before I was suppose to move I ended up getting a promotion which required to work at least 40hrs a week. It didn’t make much sense to move across the state so I could attend night classes. Thats why i came to USFSP and it’s been one of the best decisions I ever made. I have absolutely no regrets being here. I wouldn’t be as far in my professional career, as well as found so many friendships and mentors that help me still with my personal development if it was for this college.
What is one piece of advice you would give a young Entrepreneur?
It’s not just about having a job, it changes your whole life when you own a business. Your decisions are being perceived both professionally as well as personally, and once you start having employees, every decision you make not only affects you, but your entire staff! It’s not for everyone! If it was easy, wouldn’t everyone be an entrepreneur?
