Which organizations were you a part of at PVAMU?

First-ever student management fund member, Investment Club, Panther Pride, Campus Activities Board, and Panthers at Work.

Greatest achievement while attending PVAMU?

My greatest achievement while at PVAMU was securing a full-time offer from my dream job at Goldman Sachs. In order to obtain this, I had to do multiple internships and join many organizations to make myself attractive as a candidate.

What are your plans post-graduation?

Immediately after graduation, I will start a full-time position as an investment banking analyst with Goldman Sachs in Salt Lake City, Utah. I landed the opportunity by attending their HBCU leadership summit in the fall of 2018. That initially was my first round of interviews. I ended up having about 16 interviews in total with the company before I received my full-time offer.

What do you love most about PVAMU?

One thing I love about my PVAMU experience that I will carry with throughout my professional career and life, in general, is that if you want something, you have to earn it. Nothing is handed to you. Also, if you don’t like a situation that you are in, then change your attitude and watch how things turn around. I would not have made it out of this university if I didn’t have that mindset.
