About Me
Below is my personal career storyline that is aimed to give you a flavor for how my interests and responsibilities have evolved over time
01 / Education
My journey began at DePauw University, where I pursued a Bachelor's degree in Biology alongside a minor in Religious Studies. From there, I further honed my skills at the University of Notre Dame, where I earned a Master of Science degree through the ESTEEM program (Engineering, Science & Technology Entrepreneuship). During this time, I immersed myself in the realms of technology, startups, and entrepreneurship, cultivating insights into innovation, leadership, and the startup ecosystem.
02 / Startup Experience
During my time at Notre Dame I worked for a growth stage startup, In Vivo Concepts, where I served as a growth consultant, leading the design and GTM for several biomedical device products. This experience was instrumental in the company's growth, culminating in its acquisition by Somni Scientific.
03 / Big 4 Consulting
For my next career move I moved to Chicago and joined EY Consulting. I worked as a Senior Consultant in the Digital Supply Chain practice, working with Fortune 500 companies on building custom applications to improve their supply chain visibility, reduce waste, and optimize operations.
04 / Jump into Tech
I really enjoyed building digital solutions at EY but wanted to gain more experience in the consumer space. I decided to join Cat Digital, Caterpillar’s digital arm, as a Strategy Manager. Here, I spearheaded the retail customer experience strategy and led the initial solution proposal for the Cat Central mobile app. The Cat Central work got me really hooked into the Mobile Product Management space.
05 / Tech General MGMT
I made the decision to take on an opportunity at WatchBox (now The 1916 Company) to lead their Mobile App product and team. Here I oversaw day-to-day operations, managed the roadmap, and led the delivery team.
Personal Interests
Beyond my professional endeavors, I find joy in activities like running, weightlifting, and golf. I also like board games and love exploring different cultures through travel and food.
