Founder & Marketing Coordinator at Industry Idol
I am a part-time MBA candidate at NYU Stern School of Business, holding a BS in Marketing. Growing up in New York City, I've become adept at navigating change and embracing uniqueness—qualities that are highly valued in the startup space, where a unique perspective on creating change is key. This mindset has inspired me to launch three businesses as an undergraduate, collaborating with diverse teams and applying the insights gained through my studies. With my current position in a business program, I am eager to maximize every learning opportunity, especially in a startup environment where I am less likely to be limited by a set of designated tasks. My goal is to push boundaries and create something larger than myself.
