Academics

Cornell University. I currently study at Cornell University's Johnson Graduate School of Management, where I plan to receive my MBA in May 2021. I am enrolled in the Digital Technology Immersion and am involved in Consulting Club, Johnson Allies for Women, Basketball Club, and Wine Club.

I've participated in several case competitions this semester. Here is my team at the Deloitte Tech Innovation Challenge in Maryland.



University of Southern California. For my undergraduate studies, I attended the University of Southern California, where I graduated with honors from the USC Marshall School of Business and the USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism.

While at USC, I was the captain of the Trojan Debate Squad and ranked among the top 20 teams in the nation, debating topics that included: US military presence, presidential war powers, energy/climate policy, and numerous other domestic, foreign, and legal controversies. You can read more about my involvement in speech and debate here.
