President of the National Alumni Board

#JesuitEducated is so much more than a hashtag. To me, it means celebrating curiosity and the quest for lifelong learning. I am a proud double Haub School of Business grad. My coursework not only provided me with a solid foundation as I started my career, but it also empowered me to always know how to navigate any professional situation along the way.

Being elected president of the National Alumni Board (NAB). SJU holds such a special place in my heart, and I am so proud to lead the alumni association. Our NAB is composed of amazing and dedicated alumni, and I am so lucky to work with each of them!

Carli Lloyd! I am a huge women's soccer fan. I admire Carli's grit, tenacity and perseverance. We can learn so much in business through sports, as it all centers around strategy, high performance and teamwork. Carli's ability to excel in high-pressure situations has been thrilling to watch as a fan and inspiring to emulate as a professional.

Starting out in commercial real estate, which is traditionally a male-dominated industry. My first boss in real estate was a really great guy. He always made me feel like I had a seat at the table, and that catapulted my trajectory. I know that's not always how it goes, so I am extremely grateful that it was my experience. Because of that, I've always tried to pay it forward.

Surround yourself with advocates and trusted voices that will inspire you to grow and push your limits. This will be a continuous endeavor, but it will be incredibly rewarding!
