About

I am a time-management-savvy self-starter who excels when working with teams. I'm a huge proponent of the Emerson quote that we should, "leave the world a bit better." I am passionate about creating environmental change and seeking to work with a company equally focused on finding sustainable solutions. I'm currently an MBA candidate at Pepperdine Graziadio Business School focusing on SEER Business Strategy and Leadership/Managing Organizational Change. I'm always looking to make new friends and meet like-minded folks so please don't hesitate to reach out and say hi! You can almost always find me hiking or enjoying the great outdoors in my free time. I'm passionate about travel and truly believe that seeing the world expands one's worldview in a way that nothing else can. My favorite places to travel are (currently) Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Denali, Alaska.
