These are projects where I owned the outcome, not just the task. Each one had a real problem, a clear approach, and a result I can stand behind.
2023
Invited to Speak on Early Investing
University of Mississippi Business Communications, as a freshman
Talk
“My College Internship Is Making Me A Tax-Free Millionaire… And How Yours Can Too”
What I argued
Wealth-building isn’t about income, it’s about starting early and staying consistent. I walked the class through Roth IRAs, employer matches, index funds, and the compounding math that makes a $100/month habit at 20 beat a $500/month habit at 35.
Outcome
Invited back by the department. Earned a guest speaker credit as a freshman.

I Thought a Perfect GPA Would Get Me an Internship… Here’s What Actually Did
Published on LinkedIn
In this article, I reflect on how my perspective on internships and career growth changed during college. I originally believed that strong grades alone would be enough to land opportunities, but through conversations with recruiters and professionals I realized that curiosity, coachability, and discipline matter just as much.
The piece explores the mindset shifts that helped me approach interviews differently and focus more on learning, asking thoughtful questions, and building meaningful relationships.
