04 / A LITTLE ABOUT ME

There’s a person
behind the work.

I’m interested in how people make decisions and how clear thinking can help. Research, supporting economics students, and organizing campus events have given me different ways to explore that interest. I value teammates who share ideas openly, ask thoughtful questions, and help one another improve. Outside academics, you’ll often find me playing basketball, practicing golf, or discussing a question from a new perspective.
