Background:
I am a driven individual with a passion for combining finance and analytics to identify growth opportunities for tech companies. As a collegiate athlete I want to bring the synergies of competition and teamwork from the field to the office. Growing up I watched my mother grow a nine employee company to a multi-million dollar strategic exit, while my father started several companies before joining an operation and tripling its revenue during his tenure. I was raised by growth-driven individuals and during my experiences on the field, in the classroom, or at OB I have been obsessed with growing myself, too.

Start and develop a youth lacrosse program in an underdeveloped community in the Tampa Bay Area.
