About Me

Driven by a passion for strategic innovation, I am a senior at Emory University pursuing a BBA with concentrations in Organization & Management and Entrepreneurship.

My journey sits at the intersection of sports, media, and business innovation. At Emory, I've honed my financial and strategic acumen as an analyst for Goizueta Venture Capital and the Fixed Income Fund.

I translate this rigor into real-world impact—whether it's driving GTM strategies at Yahoo Sports, scouting talent at VaynerSports, or leading operations for a new franchise in the Grass Clippings Golf League.
