Building thoughtful ideas at the intersection of business, technology, and people.

My journey began at Emory University, where I studied Art History. While it may seem like an unconventional path to business, it shaped the way I approach problems today. Art history taught me to analyze complex ideas, understand context, and communicate with clarity. More importantly, it sparked a curiosity to understand how organizations create value and how thoughtful decisions shape outcomes. By the time I graduated, I knew I wanted to apply that mindset beyond the classroom. That curiosity led me toward technology, nonprofit operations, and eventually business, with each experience building on the last.

After graduating from Emory, I wanted to use my skills to make a meaningful impact. I was drawn to the nonprofit sector because it allowed me to support underserved communities while continuing to develop my creative and analytical abilities. At St. Rita Foundation for Children, I worked across web development, finance, operations, and donor communications, gaining firsthand experience in how different parts of an organization come together to advance a shared mission. It was here that I learned the value of solving problems collaboratively and using technology to create meaningful impact.

As a competitive triathlete, I have always been fascinated by the products, brands, and experiences that shape an athlete's journey. That curiosity led me to Fleet Feet, where I wanted to better understand the consumer side of the business. What began as a sales role quickly grew into a leadership opportunity. As a Team Lead and Manager, I coached teammates to deliver highly personalized consumer experiences while overseeing daily store operations, including staffing, inventory, and workflow. I also partnered with leading athletic brands, strengthened vendor relationships, and led internal product education clinics to help our team better serve different consumer segments. Working directly with consumers taught me that great businesses aren't built solely on great products. They are built by understanding people's goals, earning their trust, and delivering experiences that genuinely meet their needs.

Pursuing my MBA at Simon Business School has given me the opportunity to connect the experiences that shaped my career. After building a foundation in nonprofit operations, technology, and consumer experience, I wanted to develop the strategic and analytical skills needed to lead organizations through growth and innovation. Today, I'm focused on the intersection of strategy, marketing, and artificial intelligence. I'm particularly interested in how emerging technologies are transforming the way organizations make decisions, create value, and build meaningful relationships with consumers. As I continue my MBA journey, my goal is to combine curiosity, creativity, and data-driven thinking to help organizations solve complex problems and create lasting impact.
