What is a fun fact about yourself? As an undergraduate, I was a member of Georgia Tech’s co-ed acapella group. In my fourth year, we performed for President Obama and Michelle Obama at the annual White House Christmas party.
What makes you a “Ray C. Anderson of tomorrow”? I am learning how sustainability plays a role in both the environment and society. I am integrating sustainability in my career by working to design spaces that are socially and environmentally equitable to create opportunities and build a stronger, healthier community.

Current student status: I am a first-year student in the Full-time MBA Program.
Educational background: B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (Georgia Tech, 2016)
What is a fun fact about yourself? I’ve traveled to 19 countries so far!
What makes you a “Ray C. Anderson of tomorrow”? As an engineer, I have always attempted to find innovative ways to incorporate sustainability into my designs. As an MBA student, I now have a bigger scope and responsibility to make sustainability the main motif. In order to wholly integrate sustainability into my life, I work 14 hours per week in the Ray C. Anderson Center for Sustainable Business to learn different ways to measure emissions, and I plan to incorporate these lessons into the TI:GER program at Scheller.

What is a fun fact about yourself? I love participating in all kinds of running events and am always looking for a new challenge. I have completed a Peachtree Road Race, three marathons, three Tough Mudders, a bubble run, 5Ks dressed like Santa, hot chocolate 15Ks, a polar dash (think January in Chicago), and many others. I am currently training for the 2022 Disney Dopey Challenge.
What makes you a “Ray C. Anderson of tomorrow”? On a daily basis, I am mindful of my impact on the world and try to minimize that impact by recycling, reducing my use of single-use plastics, and being a conscientious consumer of energy-efficient items. I am hoping to apply these same principles on a larger scale by working with organizations to strategically set sustainability goals and actively find ways to reduce their carbon emissions, thereby minimizing their impact on the environment
