About

I’m currently an SDR at Rippling helping drive GTM efforts. I graduated from Villanova University with a degree in Cognitive & Behavioral Neuroscience and minors in Psychology, Cognitive Science, and relevant coursework in Economics. I’m always looking to develop new skills, meet people, and continue building experience in tech sales, and the broader startup ecosystem.
