Bio
I am currently pursuing my MBA at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, focusing on Strategy and Decision Sciences. Throughout my career, I’ve gained valuable experience across a variety of roles, including five years as a management consultant at Deloitte, where I led initiatives to standardize enterprise structures for global clients. Additionally, as an intern at Caesars Sportsbook & Casino, I conducted market research that helped shape product strategy and drive revenue growth for their sports betting app. These experiences have sharpened my expertise in strategic analysis, financial modeling, and business optimization. Outside of my professional and academic pursuits, I am passionate about personal finance and enjoy educating others on the fundamentals of building wealth. I’m also a big sports fan, particularly football, and have had the opportunity to work closely with the Duke Football Team during my internship. In my free time, I enjoy taking on DIY projects around my house, including flipping old furniture.Project ideas
