Professional
A mix of passions.
Founding Robotics for All in 2017 has shaped many of the roles I have taken on. I found my passion for teaching, business, and nonprofit work as the CEO. In 2022 I became the Head of Growth to focus more on expansion initiatives. On the business side of things, I have interned for a number of startups, including Savi, Playnovate, Limber Health, and TalentSteps. Last summer, I also participated on the consulting track in IBM Accelerate, a talent identification program. I am also apart of Development Solutions Organization as a nonprofit consultant on several projects. Through these experiences, I have gained both teamwork and leadership skills.
