I am a second-year MBA student at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business (Class of 2026), where I focus on finance and energy and the environment. Prior to Fuqua, I co-led the implementation of a five-year, multimillion-dollar research program funded by the U.S. Department of Energy to assess the feasibility of offshore seaweed cultivation in Southern California.

I spent the summer with Propeller Ventures, where I led sourcing and due diligence for Ocean MBA, a focused, high-impact program designed for early-stage founders building bold solutions for ocean and climate health. I hold a Bachelor of Science in environmental health science from the Gillings School of Global Public Health at UNC–Chapel Hill and studied extensively at the Duke University Marine Lab during my time as a Robertson Scholar (Class of 2019).
