I'm friendly, dedicated individual who loves a new challenge. I am a first-year MBA student specializing in Strategy and Global Business. Graduating with my degree in Business from Cal State Fullerton, I was born and raised in Orange County and am looking to continue to grow as a leader in the SoCal business landscape. My goal with the MBA is to pivot toward the tech industry, where I can be on the teams most responsible for changing the business environment as we know it. I decided to pursue my MBA at Chapman because of the personalized education and the great connections the university has. Outside of class, you can probably catch me watching an Angels game, or otherwise doing something outdoors or active. You can also catch me trying out whatever new restaurant opened in town, as I love trying new things. As an Ambassador for GBA, I'm excited to help in any way I can to help make the MBA experience a memorable one for everyone.
