About Me

At the intersection of business and technology is where I've built my career and continue to shape my future. As the Assistant Director of Corporate Partnerships at the University of Arizona's Eller Partnership Office, I connect corporations with top-tier students and expert faculty to solve complex business challenges ranging from technological disruption to workforce development.

I'm proud to have earned both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Arizona-a Bachelor of General Studies with a concentration in Economy and Industry and an MBA with a Finance concentration. Currently, I'm applying to pursue a Master's in AI for Business, further developing my technical expertise in this rapidly evolving field. I'm particularly fascinated by business intelligence applications, and the ethical considerations surrounding AI implementation.

My diverse professional background spans over twenty years in business development and sales, including roles in surgical sales management and as an Account Manager at Avnet. In these positions, I've helped medical device and biotech companies integrate their hardware and software intellectual property, managed high-value transactions, and presented ROI analyses to purchasing committees. These experiences have honed my ability to translate complex technical and financial concepts into actionable business strategies.

Throughout my career, I've built lasting relationships through genuine connection and a people-first approach. As a trusted advisor, I drive revenue growth and enhance profitability while maintaining unwavering focus on delivering exceptional value.

I maintain the long-term aspiration of becoming CEO of a publicly traded company-leveraging my unique combination of business acumen, technological expertise, and leadership experience to drive innovation at the highest level. I'm passionate about corporate finance, particularly capital structure optimization, valuation, and financial risk management-critical skills for executive leadership.

When I'm not immersed in business strategy or exploring the latest in AI, you can find me at the gym, golfing or playing guitar. I enjoy these hobbies most with family, friends, and loved ones.
