About

As a student-athlete at Washington University in St. Louis, I am pursuing a joint B.S. in Business and Computer Science through the Olin Business School and the McKelvey School of Engineering. I chose this interdisciplinary path because I’m a multifaceted thinker with passions spanning software development, business strategy, and sports analytics. On the field and in the classroom, I bring discipline, creativity, and a collaborative spirit to every challenge.
