All my life my personality has always been centered on sports. With my dad, I go to almost all of the main Miami games, including the Heat, Dolphins, Panthers, Inter Miami, and Marlins. As time went on, I began to focus more on the business side of things, especially because my father used to network there. I visited facilities, made pitches, and asked team leaders direct questions as part of the University of Miami's summer pre-college program. In order to link the Panthers with Zoo Miami, my team came up with a plan to donate a portion of ticket sales to the Panthers conservation. I frequently indulge my curiosity into new environments, as proven by the week I spent in Spain conversing with strangers in English. I was first super anxious about sitting across from strangers, but as I heard their stories and spoke mine, I realized how simply people can connect when they are willing to talk and explore new things. I now have the will to tackle new scenarios in work settings, classrooms, and even on the golf course because of that experience. Doing is the best way for me to learn. Teaching kids golf required more than just helping them improve their game; that experience inspired my next goal: to establish a foundation called Par to Success that assists those in need who cannot afford to play golf. Golf has taught me discipline, dedication, and a feeling of community, and I want to make it available to everyone, not just those who can afford lessons. My goal is to teach children the foundations of the game while also demonstrating how golf builds character and life skills. Par to Success is my way of giving back to the sport that has formed me while also making a lasting effect in my community. I’m excited to take my future and entrepreneurial mindset to the next level through FAU’s Sports Administration/Business program. The hands-on approach to learning, especially through opportunities like the Sport Management internship program and FAU’s partnerships with South Florida teams, aligns perfectly with how I planned this out and I truly believe this is the best fit for me. I want to develop skills to turn my intellectual property into real world opportunities, build connections with mentors and students who share my passion for sports and entrepreneurship, and learn how to make a lasting impact in the sports industry. Throughout all of my life and all these moments I've talked about here, have one thing in common. Curiosity, for me, it's a weird feeling. But if I really want to make it somewhere in life it takes dedication and curiosity. Whether I’m helping a child hit a golf ball for the first time, coming up with a new idea, or just chatting to random people I’ve never seen in my life in Spain. Each one of those situations started slow and unfamiliar, but the lessons and memories I’ve lived through those moments, will never be forgotten. I had no idea that my life would be tied together by my curiosity and imagination. However, it has, and I am confident that the same drive to connect, explore, and never stop learning will lead me not only to new opportunities but also to a greater understanding of the people and environment around me as I go forward. It will shape who I am

Mastering destiny requires establishing identity and drive. No one told me to teach golf to kids for 200+ hours. No one told me to spend a week talking to strangers in Spain or even coming up with a sustainability plan for the Florida Panthers at a UM college program. I just followed what I was curious about, stuck with it, and somewhere along the way, those small decisions started shaping who I am today.
