About Me

I'm a dual-major student at the University of Iowa earning Bachelor of Business Administration degrees in Human Resource Management and Business Analytics & Information Systems, with an anticipated graduation date of May 2026. I bring hands-on experience in HR recruiting, financial management, and member engagement through internships, campus leadership, and study abroad.

My goal is to work at the intersection of people and data — using analytics to make better HR decisions and build organizations where individuals can do their best work. I completed the CIMBA Study Abroad Program in Summer 2024 and was recognized on the Dean's List in Fall 2022.
