Summary
I’m a motivated student-athlete, entrepreneur, and team leader who adapts quickly and thrives in competitive environments. As a Drexel Men’s Soccer captain, I’ve learned to lead, communicate, and plug into any team effectively. I bring that same drive to my work, from building SoapStick to contributing in finance internships. I work hard, learn fast, and look for opportunities where I can add value and grow.
