About
I finished my BS in Business Administration at Georgia Tech in May 2026 and am now pursuing my MS in Economics there, with experience in revenue management, supply chain, and AI workflow automation at Marriott, McKinsey & Company, and General Motors, plus my own media business serving 25+ clients. Outside the classroom, I lead the Ski and Snowboard Club at Georgia Tech (280+ members), co-founded the maritime security startup Hive Nautical, and previously served as Treasurer of Alpha Epsilon Pi. I like problems where operations meets technology, from hotel revenue strategy to getting 280 skiers to Banff and back.
