Summary

My name is Riley Barker, I am currently a freshman student at Chattanooga state Community College studying Business Entrepreneurship. My goal is to eventually gain enough knowledge and experience to open my own skin care line. I have a passion for learning new things and creating projects for myself that require critical thinking. Outside of work, I love to volunteer, travel and give back to society when physically possible.
