ABOUT

I'm a second-year Accounting & Finance student at Penn State's Smeal College of Business, currently interning in Enterprise FP&A at Highmark Health.

Outside the work, I like building things — hackathon projects that have placed at Princeton and Yale, and side projects that keep me sharp on the technical side.

I'm looking to connect with founders, builders, and financiers who are serious about what they're building.
