Pledge Semester: Fall 2008

Home Town: Rio Rancho, New Mexico

Semester goals: My goal for this semester is to help bring Unity to the chapter. We are a small group of individuals with similar goals and aspirations who focus on success in the business world. I feel that Unity within our chapter will give are members more than just a diploma when they live Tech, it will give them the connections to be successful in the corporate world.

Personal Long Term Goals: My personal goals are to start and develop a multibillion dollar company as well as manage and develop a diverse portfolio.

Why did you pledge Alpha Kappa Psi? I pledged AKPsi for many different reasons one was to meet people that had similar goals to me. Also I transferred from the University of New Mexico as a junior and wanted to become active on campus. Lastly I joined because I felt that AKPsi could help me develop my professional skills and could give me a step above those that I would graduate with.

What have you gotten out of AKPsi? AKPsi has given me opportunity to meet multiple business leaders, the confidence to interview for high competitive internships as well as a great group of friends that push me to do my best.
