I was born in Tbilisi, Georgia, and have always been driven by a passion for meaningful impact and collaboration. At 16, I became Georgia's national debate champion and later adjudicated the U.S. Nationals Tournament at just 18. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of participating in 24 Model United Nations conferences, experiences that deepened my appreciation for diplomacy and problem-solving. During my time at United World College, I was honored with the inaugural Alumni in Action Award for organizing life-saving international aid to Armenia, an initiative recognized with a letter of gratitude from the Speaker of the Armenian Parliament.
At 18, I joined Davidson College as a Davis Scholar, majoring in economics. While there, I pursued a variety of opportunities to learn and grow, interning with East Rock Capital and LPL Financial, in addition to founding Davidson College Venture Capital. These experiences introduced me to the intricacies of finance and entrepreneurship, inspiring me to launch an international premium-level wine importing business, "US-Georgia Wines," during my junior year. By forming exclusive partnerships with some of Georgia's finest wineries and premium restaurants in North Carolina, I gained valuable insight into bridging cultures through business.
After graduating from Davidson in 2024, I chose to continue expanding my skills and perspectives by pursuing a Master’s in Quantitative Management at Duke’s Fuqua School of Business. I am deeply grateful for the experiences and people who have shaped my journey and remain committed to making a positive impact through creativity, collaboration, and hard work. In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer, going to the gym, and spending time with my family.
