Area of expertise: sustainable food agriculture and climate for CPGs and food retailers

Lead the governing body of the Grainger College of Engineering. Delivered the 2021 engineering commencement speech.

As a GMT Intern I was placed on the innovation team for the summer of 2020. I was given the opportunity to complete a competitive and whitespace analysis in the Value FMB space, and for my final presentation created a product concept for AB in the space. Along the way I reevaluated how the team perceives the value tier and value pricing for FMBs. Throughout the summer I was able to build skills in IRI and Mintel data analysis, social listening, and creative marketing.

In the summer of 2019, I had the opportunity to intern at Farm.One, a vertical hydroponic farm in Manhattan that serves upscale restaurants in the city. I worked on a project with the sales manager to standardize their packaging system to better communicate with customers. I additionally worked closely with their lead engineer to design a new ventilation system to control the farm's temperature in the summer months.The agility, creativity, and passion of the entire Farm.One team was inspiring. Gaining exposure to the start-up environment was extremely eye-opening, and reinforced my efforts to make my degree as interdisciplinary as possible.
