Background

I was born and raised in Atlanta, GA. As a result of my athletic inadequacies, I focused on and fell in love with music. Specifically, I played double bass. My original career ambitions took me to the Juilliard School where I majored in double bass performance. However, as a result of wanting a more liberal arts education, I transferred to and graduated from Wake Forest University with a Bachelor of Arts in Chinese in Political Science. Before attending to business school, I spent the last 8 years of my life living in Denver, Colorado.

Career Path

Before entering business school, I was a Senior Consultant at Deloitte Consulting. At Deloitte, I completed work in various industries focused on business process design, cost reduction, organizational design, organizational transformation, and operating model design. Additionally, I have worked with executive leadership teams regarding strategic planning, communications, project management, effective governance, and stakeholder engagement. Prior to Deloitte, I spent five years working for two University Presidents in a variety of roles, culminating as Colorado College’s Chief of Staff. After graduating from business school, I plan to focus on the intersection of technology and public policy.

Interests and Hobbies

My main passions center on education, closing the achievement gap, and the Arts. Prior to business school, I sat on several non-profit boards whose mission was dedicated to those issues. Currently, I am on the Board of Trustees for Wake Forest University. Additionally, I am extremely interested in how communities can improve economic opportunities for underrepresented minorities. Outside of school, I love a good political – drama TV show. Also, outside of my family, I love nothing more than a good brunch.
