Leadership definition: Leadership can take so many different forms, yet all these forms boil down to three intuitive and essential actions. Knowing, motivating and doing. Leaders must have a general idea of what is needed, know how to focus their resources and people to accomplish their unique goal, and lastly leaders must have the ability to act and execute task. With this and a little bit of passion anyone can become a leader.

Favorite Thing: My favorite thing at Scranton is the awesome education, the teachers and friends I met here, and unlimited smoothies on the weekends.
