Full-time MBA candidate at Columbia Business School with a concentration in finance and focused interest in investment banking roles. Prior to my MBA program, I spent 12 years as a Marine Corps combat arms officer with deployments to East Asia and Europe. I have a masters degree in applied physics from the Naval Postgraduate School where my research was published in a peer-reviewed, professional journal. I also spent five years in concurrent roles as military faculty in the Weapons, Robotics, and Controls Engineering Department and as a Marine Officer candidate recruiter at the Naval Academy. This experience deepened my understanding of cutting edge technologies while honing skills in public-speaking, strategic advising, and building successful teams.
