Bio

Hello! I'm an incoming master's student in Supply Chain Management at MIT and thrilled to take on this next chapter. Before grad school, I worked in strategy, research, and analytics roles at large manufacturing and transportation companies in Atlanta, GA. Originally from Nebraska, I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln—Go Big Red! I wouldn't have experienced early career success without the incredible support I've received from mentors, managers, professors, donors, and even kind strangers. I'm deeply grateful; your support truly makes a difference.
