03 / A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Beyond
the work.

I was born and raised in the Bay Area and moved to San Diego to study Management Information Systems at SDSU’s Fowler College of Business. I graduate in May 2027. I’m interested in how people make decisions and how technology changes the way they work.

I read philosophy, follow investing, and test new AI tools. Each pushes me to question assumptions, weigh tradeoffs, and explain my reasoning clearly.
