About

I'm a builder at heart—whether it's launching a 1,500-person running community, scaling a landscaping business to six figures. Currently studying Finance & Data Science at UIUC with a minor in Computer Science, I'm drawn to the intersection of technology, business, and community. I believe the best work comes from combining analytical rigor with genuine human connection.
