About

I am an enthusiastic problem solver working for Rexnord Corporation. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 2017 with a degree in Finance. I believe in working hard and not being afraid to step out of my comfort zone. I hope to inspire others to do the same. Outside of work, I love to rock climb and travel.
