One word that describes how you work: Creative

Lebanon Hills, Eagan MN

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

Twitter, Snapchat, Office 365, Gmail, Google Calendar, Apple Music. These are all apps that I use on a daily basis to keep up with what is going on around the world. These are also used so I can stay on top of busy work for day to day activities.

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

My best time-saving shortcut would be to just keep yourself organized. Whether you use a planner, an app, or even just a post-it-note, these resources can all keep you busy and on task. These resources also help you minimize doing nothing because there will always be a task to complete. Once completed you can feel accomplished for the day and usually have free time.

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

I believe that one thing I am better at than most people is multitasking. This is most prevelant when I am in class and have to take notes as well as interpret everything that a professor is saying. It is especially shown when I am able to keep up with a professor that tends to speak rather quickly. I also believe that asking questions is also one of my strong suits. Although it may not seem very important, it is one of the main ways I get better at at things I do.

What do you listen to while you work?

While I work I tend to listen to electronic music. That may be artists like Marshmello, The Chainsmokers, Martin Garrix, and many more. It keeps me very focused.

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

The best advice I’ve ever been given is that not everyone is the same. That is something that has stuck with me since I was young. Everyone has their own path, and everyone starts and finishes things in a different way and at different times.

Where do you find inspiration and new ideas?

I find inspiration and new ideas usually from professors, my parents, and business leaders. A resource that really helps me find inspiration is Business Insider. It has many relevant facts and information that can be useful to anyone. I highly recommend giving it a look.

What’s your favorite quote?

“It is far better to be alone, than to be in bad company”

-George Washington
