What apps/software/tools can’t you live without? Why?

My music apps, Microsoft Office, Google, and other google apps. I use these apps daily and without them I do not know what my academic career would be like.

What’s your best time-saving shortcut/life hack?

I write out my schedule for the week so I am organized and know my tasks that need to be done for the week. I also make sure I have my meals made for the week because my schedule is so busy between football, school and work. I just simply do not have time to make meals so this helps with time management.

What everyday thing are you better at than everyone else? What’s your secret?

Managing my time. I work on a tight schedule and how I do it is I literally have my whole day planned out from what times I eat and what times I am doing something. It is all on a schedule and closely followed.

What do you listen to while you work?

I listen to a lot of rock and a lot of 90’s/early 2000’s music. I do not like listening to slow music because I just get in slump when I do. In the workplace I will not listen to anything inappropriate out of respect of the people around me.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

“If it is to be, it’s up to me.”

  • Words to live by from my grandfather. It means if you want it to happen, go make it happen.

Where do you find inspiration and new ideas?

I find my inspiration and new ideas from everyday daily life and use those ideas to better myself everyday whether it be mentally or physically. I usually see the ideas in my surroundings and on the internet.

What’s your favorite Quote?

“Control what you can control and get better at it everyday.”

  • Words from my dad
