Project Coordinator

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always loved sports and learning. As a third grader, I could speak fluently about the history of football, especially the reign of the 1970s Pittsburg Steelers. I played competitive soccer and football growing up, with the goal of becoming the first female quarterback in the NFL. If I wasn’t playing sports or watching NFL Total Access, then I'd likely be found reading non-fiction. Biographies were my favorite. Learning the stories of trailblazers, whether it be that of Terry Bradshaw or Amelia Earhart, fascinated and inspired me. I’ve always wanted to understand what makes the great one's tick.

While I’m in the early stages of my career, I’m led by the values of kindness, curiosity, and grit. Knowing that one can’t truly fail if they’re motivated to grow and learn from others has given me the confidence to try things outside of my comfort zone. This mindset has afforded me the opportunities to play collegiate basketball at Babson College, have enriching summer internships at New Balance and PWC, and be surrounded by amazing people who challenge me.
