Florida State University Herbert Wertheim College of Business
James M. Seneff Honors Program | Medal Induction Ceremony
Academic Background
Currently Pursuing:
- B.S. Finance

Expected Graduation: Spring 2028
I chose Finance to build a strong analytical foundation in how businesses make decisions and create value. Adding Professional Sales allows me to strengthen my communication, relationship-building, and client-facing skills.
Professional Development
The Consulting Group at Florida State University
As an Executive Board member and upcoming Project Lead in The Consulting Group at FSU, I am involved in both internal leadership and semester-long consulting projects with real clients. Through this role, I help support the organization’s growth, guide project teams, manage responsibilities, communicate with clients, and contribute to strategic recommendations that address real business challenges.

As a representative on the College of Business Student Leadership Council, I help support student-focused initiatives, represent the student perspective, and strengthen connections within the FSU business community. In this role, I also assist with hosting Board of Governors members, Hall of Fame alumni, and other distinguished guests, helping create a welcoming and professional experience for leaders connected to the college.
James M. Seneff Honors Program
Cohort 7 Medal Ceremony
As a Seneff Scholar, I am part of a highly selective cohort within the College of Business that provides access to mentorship, leadership development, and direct engagement with accomplished business leaders. Being inducted into the seventh cohort was especially meaningful, as President Richard McCullough and First Lady Jai Vartikar hosted the ceremony at their home, creating a memorable opportunity to celebrate with faculty, family, and peers.
During the ceremony, I had the opportunity to hear directly from Mr. James Seneff, whose career experiences and insights on leadership, perseverance, and professional growth were incredibly inspiring. I am also grateful for the guidance and support of Dean Michael Hartline and Dr. Luke Hopkins, who continue to create meaningful opportunities for Seneff Scholars to learn, connect, and grow.
New York City Trip
Through Seneff, I have the opportunity to participate in funded trips that support professional growth, industry exposure, and meaningful cohort connections. In New York City, we were able to experience the business world firsthand while learning from professionals across different industries.
During the trip, we had the privilege of touring Kearney’s New York office, which further strengthened my interest in consulting. Speaking with employees and hearing about their career paths, client work, and experiences at the firm gave me a clearer understanding of the consulting industry and the type of environment I hope to be part of in the future. Additionally, we also had dedicated free time to schedule individual networking meetings based on our own professional interests.
While the professional opportunities were incredibly valuable, one of the most impactful parts of the trip was the bond I built with my cohort. Since then, I have been surrounded by some of the most intelligent, driven, and well-rounded students I have met. They constantly challenge me to become the best version of myself while supporting me through each step of my academic and professional journey. This trip not only expanded my career perspective, but also deepened my appreciation for the people, values, and relationships that make the Seneff experience so meaningful.
