I am an MBA candidate in Duke University’s Class of 2027 at the Fuqua School of Business. I grew up in Villa Park, Illinois, and earned my undergraduate degree in justice and peace studies from Georgetown University, where I developed an interest in the intersection of equity, opportunity and entrepreneurship.
Before Fuqua, I worked as a product marketing manager at ElevateAI by NICE. Earlier in my career, I co-founded a startup that grew from a minimum viable product into a venture-backed company that later became Appdrop. That experience required me to learn quickly — from pitching investors to prioritizing customer feedback and adapting as we scaled. I also hosted a podcast, “The Audacity Project,” where I interviewed underrepresented founders and changemakers.
At Fuqua, I am launching Washletics, a personalized detergent brand designed for athletic wear. As a Duke Innovation & Entrepreneurship Impact Scholar, I am focused on building the company while contributing to the broader entrepreneurial community. I believe success is built collectively, and I aim to support my classmates as we grow alongside one another.
