Hi! I’m a freshman at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, studying business in the Gies College of Business. I am from the greater Chicago area, and I’ve always been fascinated by the way businesses make decisions and solve problems. I love using analytical thinking and numbers to figure out how things work and how they can work better, and I’m excited to see where that curiosity will take me in my time at Gies.
Outside of classes, I’m all about finding ways to stay inspired and creative. I love reading stories that pull me into different worlds and perspectives, and I’m always up for a good movie night—whether it’s a thoughtful film or a comfort rewatch of a favorite classic. Storytelling in all its forms sparks my imagination, and I enjoy exploring how creativity connects to the way we think and interact with the world.
When I’m not caught up in books or movies, you can probably find me staying active. Whether it’s going for a run, playing beach volleyball, or just getting outside, I like keeping a balance between being busy with school and taking time to recharge. I’m looking forward to my journey at UIUC and excited to get involved, make connections, and keep growing—both as a student and as a person.
