About
Bachelor of business administration
Finance concentration
Economics & Computer Science Dual Minor
I come from a visual arts background but found business through a passion for presenting and creating aesthetically pleasing decks, working with bright minds and strategic thinking.
As my degree progressed, so did my interests with how the world works, both from an economic and leading- edge technology perspective.
These curiosities drove my wish to complete the Economics and Computer Science Minor.
However, all this knowledge learned academically is only the start.
I’m now on the journey to lace the creative, strategic, relationship management and analytical thinking skills developed through my years of schooling to make this world a better one – starting with improving organizational environments.

passions outside of work
4 years of learning and applying visual arts, 4 years of learning and applying business knowledge, lace it all together with trying to understand and expand my programming knowledge, and you get a mash-up of a jack of all trades.
