About

I am a student at Gilman School passionate about business, leadership, and making a real-world impact. Over the past four years, I’ve developed my skills through my school’s Business Club, learning from alumni, exploring business strategies independently, and completing online courses such as Wharton's "Understanding Your Money" to strengthen my foundation in finance and business. Alongside my academic focus, I’ve taken on leadership roles that challenge me to mentor and collaborate, including serving as a Peer Education Leader and President of the Jewish Student Union. These experiences have sharpened my communication, problem-solving, and project-management skills. I’m excited to continue building my business knowledge and leadership experience at the University of Richmond, pursuing opportunities to think strategically, lead effectively, and make a lasting impact in my community and beyond.
