As a full-time MBA candidate at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business, I aspire to leverage my military background and venture capital experience to pursue a fulfilling career. I have a bachelor's degree in biology from the University of Notre Dame, where I developed a strong foundation in scientific thinking and problem-solving.In the past seven years, I have served in various leadership and management roles in the US Army, ranging from platoon leader to company commander. I have led teams of up to 150 soldiers, planned and executed complex operations, and managed multimillion-dollar budgets and assets. I have also gained valuable skills in operational planning, logistics management, and strategic analysis.
