Who am I?

I was born and raised in Toms River, New Jersey. I attended the Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Science for high school. I now attend Rochester Institute of Technology, specifically Saunders College of Business, an AACSB-accredited program. I am a double major in Global Business Management and Management Information Systems with two minors: Marketing and Event Management.

I’m majoring in Global Business Management because I’ve always been curious about cultures around the world. I studied abroad in Zagreb, Croatia, from January 2025 until May 2025, and got to learn and grow in a new environment. I love leading teams, from serving as team captain on my soccer team to directing peer mentorship within the Leadership Academy. I’ve always liked stepping into leadership roles and being someone others can count on.

My second major, Management Information Systems, is my newest addition. I came into RIT with only a Marketing major. After a few years at RIT and a Digital Marketing internship, I realized how much I love the connection between technology and business. I still love marketing, which is why it became my minor. I enjoy finding patterns and turning them into something useful. The creative side of marketing and how it connects to strategy is one of my favorite parts. This part connects creative problem-solving with analysis, which is where I thrive. Together, these areas let me generate solutions and back them with real data.

My second minor in Event Management connects to my problem-solving side. I enjoy creating creative solutions to problems. Organizing, coordinating, and working under pressure are just a few of the skills I utilize while planning events.

With experience in leadership, collaboration, analytics, and planning, I bring a diverse set of skills that allow me to adapt to many challenges. I understand both people and numbers, and I’m comfortable thinking both globally and practically. My goal is to build a career that lets me travel, lead teams, and solve business problems through a mix of marketing, strategy, and innovation.
