About Me

I bring structure to ambiguity and make the process feel human along the way.

I'm a junior at Boston University's Questrom School of Business, concentrating in Information Systems & Artificial Intelligence. I love the space where strategy meets execution. Whether that's managing the logistics of distributing 6,000 stationery sets to Rikers Island through ShareLove.Fund or mapping AI tool workflows at an ops startup in Sydney, I'm happiest when I'm building something that actually works.

Outside of work, I am a yoga instructor, I cook a lot, and I just got back from living in Australia, which stretched my perspective in the best way.

What I Bring

I don't just fill a seat.
I make the team better.

01
Operational Clarity
I built inventory tracking systems for a nonprofit and mapped end-to-end logic flows for AI tools. If there's a process to build or fix, I'm already thinking about it.
02
Product Intuition
I've recommended AI tools for client strategy sessions and streamlined proposal workflows with markdown scripting. I always start from the user's perspective.
03
Cross-Functional Communication
I've been an RA for 60 residents, Head of Community Development at National Society of Black Engineers, and a panel moderator for 250+ attendees. I bridge gaps between people and keep everyone aligned.
04
Bias Toward Action
I helped pass legislation requiring student councils in every NYS high school. I don't wait for perfect. I'd rather ship, learn, and iterate.

Projects

Work I'm proud of.

StudioKey project
Featured Project

StudioKey

StudioKey is a management platform I designed for boutique fitness studios that are stuck overpaying for software built for large chains. By leveraging a modern tech stack and cutting unnecessary features like marketplace listings, it delivers scheduling, analytics, instructor performance tracking, and AI-powered coaching at a fraction of the typical cost. The platform serves three distinct user types through dedicated portals for customers, managers, and instructors, with a pricing model designed to scale alongside the studio's growth.
