About

I am a high-achieving junior from Brooklyn, NY with a 4.0 GPA and a clear sense of direction. My interests sit at the intersection of business, finance, and human behavior — and I pursue them through real work, not just coursework.

From co-founding a DECA chapter to interning in occupational therapy administration, I gravitate toward environments where I can lead, contribute, and grow
