Hello!
Hello, my name is Van Gatz and I am a senior at Roger Williams University pursuing a bachelor’s in finance with a minor in psychology. Some of my strengths are communication and problem-solving. My hobbies during the warmer months include golfing and fishing, and during the colder months, I enjoy skiing. One of my personal goals that I set for myself this year is to gain some weight and muscle by eating right and working out in the gym. One of my professional goals that I set for myself was to graduate this semester and start looking for full-time employment. One achievement that I have made in the past year was that I finally shot a 79 while playing golf with my dad. I practiced constantly and worked hard in order to achieve that score. Thank you for reading a little bit about me.
