Quota

In PES, within 2 weeks, I met full quota. Effiency and effective communications are key for me.

$2,000+

Sponsorships

In less than 6 months, I was able to secure sponsorships for Thallora to continue growth.

As a President and student with a background in running my own businesses and automation, I continuously create and adapt to bring experiences to students.

My approach combines research, student feedback, and client feedback. Since early 2024 I have continued to hold true to gathering as much input to bring the best output for students. Now currently, I bring larger clients and scholarships.

My Leadership Process

My leadership process follows a clear progression:

Discovery

I begin by assessing the team's strengths, challenges, and project goals, ensuring alignment with overall objectives.

Allocation

Next, I strategically assign tasks based on individual skill sets and development opportunities, ensuring effective resource utilization.

Training

I focus on empowering the team with the knowledge and tools they need, facilitating continuous learning to foster growth and adaptability.

Execution

Finally, I drive execution through clear communication, accountability, and regular feedback, ensuring goals are met while maintaining team morale and efficiency.
