About Me
I am a junior at Temple University but before this part in my life I was very much into lacrosse and basketball. I played intramural basketball and had a solid group of guys to play pick up at Delaware Valley College. We would compete who came from one middle versus opposite middle school or just shoot foul shots to pick teams. On the lacrosse side I played club in my youth and in 9th grade to 12th grade played for my high school team at Central Bucks West. Sports were a major part of my life in college it became more maintaining working out but education took the primary focus. My studies are more important to me than the fun aspect of college and as they should be. If only my freshman year self shared the same ideals. In college I also played Intramural basketball making it through the playoffs and losing in double overtime in the finals. Which was an absolute heart breaker but hey you win some you lose some.
In addition to playing basketball and working out I participate in Gamma Iota Sigma. Our chapter at Temple University is renowned in the university world we took numerous awards last year in Georgia. Our program is ranked 4th in the nation but number one in all of our Temple Owls hearts. In a recent presentation by Scott Johnson the Vice President of Account Management at UnitedHealthCare he remarked we are one of the best programs in the country. This is not the first time an established person within the insurance industry has taken note of this. The reason for this is the work ethic instilled from the incredible workload within the major. On top of studying notes their are numerous up to date articles discussing not only the benefits side of insurance but the property and casualty side. Being pushed to strive for more knowledge and being asked to know everything either causes a person to crumble and change majors or propel forward. When i say propel I mean it in a sense that we become more knowledgeable than most other schools and the education we receive is more meaningful than the degree we earned for creating a certain number of credits. The network of Gamma Iota Sigma an the relationships you make within the chapter is incredibly heartwarming. It is not difficult to ask for help in career, class, or life. That network is a strong foundation for why the program is so successful. Lastly, in addition to being a member of Gamma Iota Sigma I also participate in the Risk Management Career Committee another very informal committee taking through the various careers you can take within the industry.
