Throughout my journey, I have utilized empathy-building methodologies for idea development, immersed myself amongst a varying range of industries, and embraced unique overseas experiences.

My drive to foster engaging, innovative environments has taken shape in experiences collaborating on projects and programs for the U.S. Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Booz Allen Hamilton, Johns Hopkins Medicine, the Pennsylvania State Police, the Islamic Center of Pittsburgh, and the University of Pittsburgh.

My desire to offer a comprehensive toolbox to these environments has resulted in the pursuit of multiple advanced degrees: a Master of Business Administration from Johns Hopkins University, a Master of Arts in Design Leadership from the Maryland Institute College of Art, and, currently underway, a Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership from Pepperdine University.

My aspiration to challenge and reframe the lens I bring to these environments resulted in unstructured time spent adventuring abroad from the U.S. and experiencing a humbling life outside of my comfort zone. From struggling in an unfamiliar lifestyle to absorbing the metanarratives of other countries, I constructed a new perspective from which to empathize with others and approach problems.

Whether intersecting Lean Six Sigma with Design Thinking, crafting actionable-insight facilitation expertise, or resourcefully navigating ambiguity while living abroad, my unconventional path has resulted in a grounded, unparalleled standpoint to bring to consulting.
