Bio

With a burning passion for business and a keen interest in strategy, finance, and organizational behavior, I've come to make large impacts at organizations like JP Morgan, Robinhood, and Pillar Health Group. My intellectual curiosity and drive for success has led me to pursue extensive knowledge in the field of business, exploring its intricate mechanisms and strategies that drive organizational growth and success. With a strong academic background and a constant thirst for learning, I aim to make a significant impact in the business world by leveraging expertise and innovative thinking to navigate complex challenges and foster sustainable growth. Outside of this, I have a creative side that comes to life through music. The act of self-expression through music allows me to unwind and explore their imagination. In addition, I enjoy staying physically active and maintain a healthy lifestyle by regularly engaging in activities like running and lifting. Most recently, I completed a 100 mile ultramarathon race! I believe in having a balance between intellectual pursuits and personal interests to ensure you're staying committed to personal growth and holistic well-being.
