Marketing + Psychology at SMU.
Driven by people. Motivated by results.

View my experiences

I’ve always been a people person. I love learning what motivates someone, figuring out what they need, and finding a solution that genuinely makes sense for them. That’s what first drew me to sales, and what has kept me excited about it.

As a Marketing and Psychology student at SMU, I’ve had the chance to explore that interest through medical device sales, strategic marketing, and campus sales. Whether I’m building a client relationship, digging into a market, or taking on a new challenge, I’m happiest when I’m working with people and working toward a goal.

Outside of work and school, I’m someone who loves to workout, water ski, and travel. I’m naturally curious, organized, competitive, and always looking for the next opportunity to learn.
