About

As an Economics major at the University of Michigan, I’m fascinated by how sports, technology, and business shape our world. I’m passionate about using innovation and entrepreneurship to create positive change and meaningful solutions. My involvement in grief-related nonprofits drives my desire to create social change for people of all ages, and reminds me of the power of community and empathy. Whether it’s launching an idea or joining a mission-driven team, I’m always eager to learn, grow, and make an impact.
