I like working where data, AI, marketing, and product overlap, especially at companies still working out where those lines are.

About me

I graduated from Indiana University's Kelley School of Business with a B.S. in Business, majoring in Marketing, Business Analytics, and Information Systems.

I like working where data, strategy, and product thinking are all in the room at once. My instinct is to use analysis to understand people, and then actually do something with it: build something, position something, make a real call. AI has become a meaningful part of how I work and what I want to work on, but it lives alongside marketing and product curiosity, not in place of them.

At EY, I worked in Risk Consulting with process owners at two Fortune 500 healthcare companies. I evaluated IT risk frameworks, diagnosed gaps, and learned how important clear communication is when technical findings move from my manager to senior managers and partner-level reviewers.

Outside class, I have led the Data Visualization Club, worked on DEIJB initiatives in Kelley Student Government, and taken on brand strategy work through Kelley. I like spaces where the work is analytical, but still very much about people.

Let's connect

I'm looking for full-time roles where I can think analytically, communicate clearly, and keep learning from smart people. Marketing analytics, strategy consulting, and product are all spaces I'm excited by.
