Biography
Biography
After earning my MS in Civil Engineering from the University of Southern California, I joined the Washington DC office of Thornton Tomasetti, where I contributed to iconic projects like NYC Vessel, FIFA World Cup stadium, and Amazon HQ2. While immersed in engineering consulting, I found myself increasingly captivated by the managerial facets of my work. This led me to pivot towards a new direction—Management Consulting. To refine my skills from the nuts and bolts of building to the broader landscape of business, I embarked on an MBA journey at Owen Graduate School of Management. Beyond my professional endeavors, I'm an avid traveler, a passionate cook, and a long-distance runner.
