How will your education from Howard University prepare you to make a positive impact on the world/in your community? 1. I am a connoisseur of real estate because it is my passion to help less fortunate people, such as myself, have access to housing and home ownership. This career field is best for me because it can bring new problems every day. I'm an analytical thinker, and I am mathematically adept. As such, I am currently studying real estate development and financial modeling with the Project Destined and MRP Realty Partners internships. Once I get my degree, I will work in real estate finance to gain experience with purchases, loans, and fiduciary policies. After gaining investment experience, I will move on to work at a real estate firm. While I work at a real estate firm, I will learn the specifics of real estate investing. When I retire, I will open multiple merit and external scholarships for students who need more money. Also, I will provide internships, jobs, and less expensive accountants for people who wish to have financial freedom and to change their community and the world. As a successful real estate investor, I could influence people in the finance industry to be less discriminatory against people of color so that we could be more influential across the business world. What have you already done to demonstrate that change is possible? 2. Two years ago, as a freshman at the School of Business, I saw that there were only clubs and opportunities for very broad, cliche, and highly competitive fields. So while I was discussing my interest in real estate with my peers, another shared my interest, and we found two more people who were interested in creating a real estate club, where we met our founder, Raymir Johnson. However, we had to figure out how our executive board of four people was going to make it an official organization. Thus, we had meetings with our advisor every week to make sure we submitted the necessary paperwork to the university’s offices for us to become official. In completing this paperwork, I started to delegate some of it to our treasurer and secretary so that they could help us get it done and understand the lay of the land in terms of the organization's goals and policies that we must abide by. Eventually, we did become an official organization, starting last year with almost five hundred members and growing. Furthermore, I was accepted to an MRP Realty Partners internship in the spring of this year, which I applied for in the fall. During the interview process, the recruiter informed me that she was very impressed with the Real Estate club's success, so she also assigned the task of recruiting all interested club members to the two-year internship program. As of today, we have eight inaugural interns from the Howard University Real Estate Club, and we hope to keep increasing the number of interns through the MRP Realty internship pipeline in the following years.
