MBA candidate at Emory University

Expertise

Business Development Consulting

Bio

I am passionate about problem solving and developing innovative solutions to the world's problems. This can include business development , managerial leadership optimization, & the psychology behind motivation. My passion for problem solving is what lead me to pursue Industrial Engineering. This is also what led me to begin my career in consulting in 2022. I've made the decision to obtain my MBA from Emory's Goizueta Business School because I'm excited about the intersection of business technology. Outside of academic passions, I enjoy reading & working out. My favorite book recommendation is "1000 Essays to Change the Way You Think". I enjoy public speaking & I am currently developing a Ted Talk to deliver in 2025. In high school, I studied abroad in Accra, Ghana. As an MBA student, I'm excited to see where I'll study abroad next.

Project ideas

Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.

How AI can be used in favor of creativity, not against it.

We are constantly hearing about how Artificial Intelligence is leading to the destruction of creative process. By diving into how AI is utilized, we have found new breakthroughs on how creatives can leverage it to maximize their success. Info gathering process includes historical analysis, interviews with subject matter experts, and future predictions. Potential student outcomes include Research Papers, Essays, or Charts/Graphs.

Teaching experience

I've acted as a mentor for KIPP & iMentor. In these roles, I've helped high school & college students with classes, admissions, and internship applications. I've maintained these roles for approximately 3 years.
