FinalistBio
At the University of Oklahoma I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Industrial and Systems Engineering and studied abroad three times in Italy and at Oxford University. This global perspective shaped how I approach problem-solving with curiosity and empathy.
Over the past four years at Deloitte, I’ve led technology projects spanning three continents. Most recently, I was selected for a leadership fellowship to advance mental health firmwide. Beyond work, I’ve invested deeply in volunteer efforts that build confidence and opportunity for others – from mentoring women with Alpha Omicron Pi to advocating for underpaid teachers to receive grant funding for unique school programming. Additionally, I have been a pianist since age eight.
My experiences reflect a throughline of initiative, compassion, and creative leadership. I hope to merge my background in technology and education initiatives with further policy and business training to create education solutions that expand equitable access to learning.
