Career
After high school, I attended Quincy College and obtained an Associate's Degree in Business Management. I was always genuinely interested in working with business owners and online advertising. Aside from working full time, any spare time I had, whether it was on lunch breaks, driving to and from work, nights, and weekends, I worked as an independent marketing consultant helping businesses one on one with their marketing. After two years of hard work, I finally built up my business and clientele enough to give my two-week notice and work for myself full-time. It was then my company L2L Creative Group, Inc., was created. Fast forward to today, my company works with businesses worldwide, I am a Massachusetts & Florida real estate agent with over $10+ million in sales, and I'm a children's book publisher.

What clubs and activities did you participate in while you were a student at Blue Hills?

How did your time at Blue Hills prepare you for what you are doing now?
I can proudly attest that BHR was the reason I went into business for myself. I was never a straight-A student; I don’t think I ever brought a book home from school, and I actually failed the MCAS. It was when Blue Hills launched a new class called ""Entrepreneurial Skills"" in my senior year that motivated me to start my own company. It was the first time I had ever looked forward to attending class and probably the first time I took the book home and read it out of enjoyment. This course provided the drive, clarity, and direction I needed for my future and inspired me to do something I was passionate about - being my own boss.
What advice would you give to BHR students?
- Surround yourself with people who are smarter than you.
- Ask questions if you don't understand something.
- If you want something in life, figure out how to get it. It can be as simple as writing a step-by-step list of baby steps to attain it.
- You define how you want to live your life, and you are the only one who can create the life you want to live.
