Education
I chose to attend the University of Tampa’s Sykes College of Business due to its prestigious AACSB Accreditation, which ensures a high standard of excellence in business education and is a mark of distinction held by fewer than 5% of business schools worldwide. At UT, my studies are focused on developing in-depth expertise in professional sales and real estate marketing, which align closely with my career aspirations in real estate. The rigorous coursework and hands-on learning opportunities have been instrumental in expanding my knowledge and skills to prepare me for a successful career in this industry.

UT is ranked 14th in the South among Regional Universities by U.S. News & World Report in its 2025 rankings, showcasing the institution’s strong academic reputation. The Sykes College of Business, in particular, stands out as one of the best undergraduate business programs in the region, recognized for its academic quality and innovation.
