Majoring in business administration … performed community service as a volunteer for both U.S. Kids Golf and The First Tee of Greater Sacramento … chose Cal Poly, “because of its stellar facilities that allow me grow my game along with great coaches that can help me improve on and off the golf course. Our solid schedule allows me to put my game to the test and our access to courses around the area has helped refine my game. Cal Poly is also a highly regarded school where I can pursue my degree in business.”
