Future Business Leaders of America
Position Held: State Competitor, Treasurer
Dates Participated: September 2011 – June 2013
As a participant of FBLA at Neshaminy High School I competed in the following categories: Spreadsheet Applications and Computer Applications. In the former I was tested in my knowledge of Microsoft Excel. I placed third among the regional high school area, just making it to the state level in which I placed sixth. In the category of Computer Applications I was challenged in my knowledge of Microsoft Excel, Access, PowerPoint, and Word. I placed first in my regional area, and seventh in the state of Pennsylvania.
As the treasurer of FBLA I employed my Microsoft Excel skills in order to create meaningful spreadsheets which documented the money received and spent by the organization. I also aided in the collection of payments for dues and both the regional and state levels trips.
Pennsylvania Free Enterprise Week
Position Held: Participant
Dates Participated: July 2012
Through my involvement in PFEW I was able to gain a better understanding of the American free enterprise system. During this week I worked with a team of seventeen peers from across Pennsylvania to simulate operations of a mock business for the equivalent of three years. From launching a marketing campaign to completing a stockholder’s presentation, this week enhanced my hands-on knowledge of the increasingly competitive and unpredictable global marketplace.
