About me

MIS senior at The Ohio State University leveraging SQL, data analytics, and tech strategy to solve complex business problems and build data-driven solutions.

I started my journey as a marketing intern at a startup in San Jose, CA, where I gained hands-on experience in a fast-paced environment. I then took on the role of project manager and later became the Director of Program Management at University Student Consultants, a consulting club at Ohio State. This experience allowed me to develop my leadership and organizational skills. Additionally, I completed a product management externship with BeReal, which further fueled my passion for technology-based solutions and user-centered design.
