My name is Darby Wells and I am from Hardin, MT. I am currently studying Business-Finance at Montana State University. Here at MSU, GEAR UP has helped me feel as though I have a support system. In both high school and college., having people keep up with how I'm doing is really reassuring. As for the future, in the next 5 years I hope to be working somewhere in the finance sector or potentially going to law school. Outside of school, I like to spend as much time with my friends and family as I can.
