Bio:

Originally from Long Island, New York, I am currently a junior at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, studying Business and Technology Management. My journey is driven by a passion for leveraging technology to fuel corporate success and innovation.

My passion for technology and business goes hand in hand with my desire to make a meaningful difference in the healthcare sector. As a former hospital volunteer, I have experienced firsthand the importance of utilizing technology to improve patient care and optimize hospital operations. This experience ignited an interest in exploring the intersection between technology and the medical industry.

I have had the privilege of interning at J.P. Morgan, where I gained hands-on experience in Asset and Wealth Management, further honing my analytical and client relationship skills. Additionally, I am actively involved in the National Society of Black Engineers and the Society of Women Engineers, where I advocate for diversity and inclusivity in STEM, believing that diverse perspectives are key to fostering innovation.

My entrepreneurial spirit drives me to serve as an intern and ambassador at the NYU Entrepreneurial Institute, where I assist startup teams from pre-seed to scaling stages. The dynamic environment of entrepreneurship continually inspires me to explore new ideas and push boundaries.

Outside of academics, I am an avid water sports enthusiast and former rowing coxswain, where I developed a love for the water and valuable lessons in teamwork, precision, and leadership.
