About Me

Business strategy meets social impact.

I am a Business Administration student at SUNY Fredonia with a passion for creative communication and leadership. I enjoy taking on projects that bridge the gap between business strategy and social impact.

On campus, I serve as President of The 3 L's Club, where I lead initiatives that connect students with real-world professional experiences. With over four years of experience in management, I pride myself on being a reliable leader and a creative problem-solver.

I am always looking to connect with professionals in the marketing and business world — especially those working at the intersection of media, analytics, and community.
