About Me
I am an internationally-oriented student with passions in problem solving and strategy. I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in International Management at the Vienna University of Economics and Business / CEMS while also involved in extracurricular activities as CFO of CEMS Club and as a research assistant at my university. I'm interested in pursuing an international career in management consulting, while also applying my marketing background and expertise.

Previously, I studied marketing at Bentley University, where I took part in different internship experiences involving event marketing at top firms including Rafanelli Events and Constant Contact, while remaining active in my school's community as an RA, a division II athlete, and President of Alpha Kappa Psi professional fraternity. I'm passionate about learning new things, marketing, problem solving, traveling, and world cultures.
