I enjoy being the liaison between technical and non-technical stakeholders. I started my career in a non-technical role and have focused on upskilling technically ever since, which uniquely positions me to help bridge the gap between these two worlds.

My Career

I began my career at InContext Solutions, a retail analytics company, where I built a new team to develop internal and external products such as automated project outputs and data visualizations.

At Deloitte, I consulted clients in the banking and capital markets space on their technical strategy and data analytics needs.

At Microsoft, I worked on the Data & AI team, where I helped clients build AI solutions using Azure's data and AI services.

During my time as a student, I've worked part time at Soligence Consulting and Fair Chance Futures. At Soligence Consulting, I work with a small AI-first firm helping clients design and implement AI products, workflows, and operating models. And at Fair Chance Futures, I've led — from scratch — the development of a product that aids the reentry of formerly incarcerated individuals into the workforce.

At every step, I try to bring strong communication skills, grit, and positivity to whatever I'm working on.

Why I Write

To get better at it. Maybe teach someone something, too.

Brief Background

I was born in New York City and was raised in the suburbs of Chicago. My undergraduate degree is from Indiana University (Kelley School of Business), where I studied Business Analytics and Professional Sales. IU was some of the best years of my life and I am still close to many of my friends from college. Additionally, I'm a huge Hoosiers fan. After school, I worked for a bit, got some good experience, and now I'm at Columbia Business School getting my MBA. At CBS, I've had the pleasure of doing some incredible things, such as volunteering for the ReEntry Acceleration Program and captaining the CBS Rugby team. I am also fortunate to be recognized as a William J. Heffernan Memorial Award recipient. Outside of school and work, I'm a group fitness instructor. I want to open my own gym one day.
