I love God, my family, & my friends more than anything in the world. I was born in Rochester, NY and lived on 32 Dayton Street for the first few years of my life. I was raised in Bristol, NY (40 minutes south of Rochester) for the rest of my upbringing. I am grateful to be apart of and have an amazing extended family and friends! I am a junior Interdisciplinary Engineering & Management major at Clarkson University. I am very passionate about entrepreneurship and I aspire to build a business before I am 30 years old that creates value and is sustainable while providing an avenue whereby I might help the friends and family I care so deeply for. Since I was little, it has been a dream of mine to attend law school - so I am interested in getting a JD+MBA one day as well. I love connecting with people and having unforgettable experiences with the people I love!

As an intern, I was the process owner for Defective Material Return process for all purchased parts in Grove City, PA. The Grove City Engine Plant purchases $450MM of material per year. At any given time, it holds in excess of $600k of defective materials in process. I was responsible for ensuring that all supplier related DMR’s were processed in a timely manner. I worked cross-functionally with the Materials Team, Engineering, Quality, Production, and Suppliers to ensure defects were processed and transacted correctly. I submitted a business proposal to redesign the process and implement improvements utilizing Lean concepts. I also created $250,000.00 worth of shipping notices that removed almost 50% of defective materials from inventory. At the conclusion of my internship, I won the "Most Likely to be Next CEO" award at the GE Transportation Intern's Banquet.
