I'm Aidan Sullivan, a student at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a passion for learning, entrepreneurship, and exploring new opportunities.
My interest in business began at 14, when I founded BrightLife Candles. I made candles by hand and sold them door-to-door, gaining my first experience in entrepreneurship. Since then, I've continued pursuing different business opportunities, including founding Sully's Auto Detailing, co-founding Big Gorillaz Landscaping, and developing the concept for FurSweepX.
At 17, I was in a head-on collision caused by a drunk driver. The recovery took months, including time in a wheelchair and finishing my first semester of senior year online. It was difficult, but it changed my perspective and made me more determined to make the most of every opportunity.Â
Academically, I graduated from Rockingham Early College High School with both a high school diploma and an Associate in Arts degree. I'm currently studying finance and mathematics at UNC Charlotte, with plans to further my education in physics and electrical engineering. I also hope to pursue a master's degree in engineering.
Outside of academics and business, I enjoy exploring new interests and challenging myself. Whether it's climbing, traveling, learning languages, or experimenting with electronics, I enjoy stepping outside my comfort zone and discovering new things.
I don't have everything figured out, and my interests continue to evolve. What I do know is that I want to keep learning, building, and experiencing as much as I can.
