Who am I? All about me!
Early Years:
Born and raised in woodsy Northern NJ, I grew up learning and exploring the dense forests and developing appreciations for the world around me as well as hobbies like gardening!
I always had a passion (or as much as any 8 year old can) for engineering, for building and trying. While AutoCAD and differential equations hadn’t introduced themselves yet, I was eager to learn more about the world around me
High School:
I entered HS in a digital landscape of online learning, the rise of AI, and modern educational models like block scheduling. I graduated from a four year entrepreneurial program that led me to owning my first profitable business, becoming proficient with social media marketing, and board presenting. My affinity for math and physics never waned as I would take Calculus and sit for the AP physics exam while captaining the Track and Field team.
Muhlenberg College : Bachelors Of Physics
Prior to graduating HS, I was fortunate enough to commit to running track and field at the collegiate level while earning my bachelors degree in physics. Throughout my short time at this wonderful liberal arts school I was proud to serve as a resident advisor, head physics peer tutor to over twenty students, wellness intern, and student researcher. Balancing collegiate athletics with elite academic pressure was intense, but it forged a path of discipline and dedication that continue to assist me and will for the rest of my life.
My hard work culminated in walking the stage at graduation as the sole student in the school to graduate a year early (as a junior) with a degree in physics.
Notable moments from my undergraduate experience were defending my senior thesis C.U.E presentation, winning the elusive Penn Relay Carnival Men’s 4×400m relay, founding the middle eastern student association, and breaking two school records on the track!
Muhlenberg gave me one final gift and that was an incredible admissions cycle into graduate school including acceptances from programs such as Johns Hopkins, Boston University, Villanova, Columbia University, Northeastern, NYU, and Tufts!
Stevens Tech : M.B.A & M.s electrical engineering
I find myself here now, in my current years, as a graduate candidate at Stevens working towards an MBA & Masters in science.
I could talk for hours about how much being a stem student-athlete can teach you about hard work or perseverance, but the real lesson is how rewarding it can be to lead passionately.
As an athlete I often found myself gravitating towards roles and positions of influence as I felt authorized to lead the culture of a developing team, this behavior eventually spilled into my technical work as a physics student and I saw myself taking charge of roles and bridging the leadership lessons with technical knowledge.
Among the world class academics, huge name professors, unparalleled NYC metro recruiting, and lovely waterfront campus, the real attraction to Stevens comes in the uncommon path to develop razor sharp technical knowledge alongside the tools to lead teams into the unknown and take things on day by day.
I am always on the lookout for roles that allow me to bridge the gap between top-heavy executive offices of large firms and their operational teams.
