Founder / CEO @ SideShift
As a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, my journey in technology, community outreach, and finance has culminated in the founding of my first company, SideShift. This venture represents the intersection of my diverse interests and skills. Leveraging my experience in real estate investing and private equity, I've developed a keen analytical approach and strong leadership skills, which have been instrumental in establishing SideShift. The platform, envisioned as a two-sided marketplace, connects college students seeking part-time work with small local businesses overlooked by larger job boards. My role in this entrepreneurial endeavor showcases my creativity, fast learning ability, and an unwavering work ethic. As I lead SideShift towards growth, I continue to value collaboration and explore new opportunities in the realms of technology and software.
