My Greatest Accomplishment

It’s yet to come. A lot of exciting things have taken place in my life, from re-writing the record book in high school, where I hold five school football passing records; to receiving a full scholarship to study at Drexel, sponsored by Boeing & KPMG; to creating an app in college that received worldwide press in five countries; and lastly, the work I’ve done in Silicon Valley with ZIRX, and now Prynt. But, the honest truth is, I think my greatest accomplishments are around the corner, and I will have a better answer to this question in a decade.

How Drexel Helped

From day one, Drexel has been great to me. The day I landed in Philadelphia from California, I was presented with a full scholarship through the Association of Latino Professionals in Finance and Accounting. Through the Close School of Entrepreneurship I participated in a class called “Launch-It,” in which students get $2,000 to start their own ventures. This is where I began my first startup, MyKlips, a mobile app for all your favorite haircuts used by thousands of consumers to help them get their favorite haircuts, every time.

Looking back, Drexel helped me learn how to start things from the ground up. It gave me the confidence to excel as a young professional in Silicon Valley, regardless of my age. There isn’t a task that’s too large for me, or too senior, and that’s because Drexel prepared me to make things happen, and believe that anything is possible.

Where I’ll be in Five Years

In five years I will be 29. That’s the age I want to venture off and launch my own company.
