I am a graduate business student specializing in finance whose approach to decision making has been shaped by years of competitive golf. The game of golf taught me how to think strategically, manage risk, and remain composed under pressure. These skills translate directly to business, finance, and leadership.
Golf is a game of margins, preparation, and disciplined execution. Success depends not on one perfect shot, but on making the right decisions repeatedly over time. That mindset defines how I approach financial analysis, strategic planning, and teamwork. I focus on understanding trade-offs, minimizing unnecessary risk, and executing consistently rather than chasing short-term wins.
As a Division I student-athlete, I developed a strong sense of accountability, time management, and resilience. Balancing competition, academics, and leadership roles reinforced the importance of preparation, adaptability, and continuous improvement, both individually and within a team.
I am motivated by long-term value creation and performance-driven environments. Whether on the course or in a professional setting, I bring discipline, integrity, and a commitment to improvement. My goal is to apply the lessons of competitive golf and financial analysis to help organizations make smarter decisions and perform at a higher level when it matters most.
