Where is your hometown? 

Boca Raton, Florida.

What are some of your interests, personal or professional? 

I am very interested in art. I love going to art museums. I like impressionist era paintings; they are just the coolest thing. I got glasses a couple of years ago and the impressionists capture how I see, like Monet.

I am passionate about creating different businesses and also have a political background. Being able to engage people and unite them in a coalition is something I am good at. I am also very passionate about volunteering in workforce development and veteran support. 

Do you participate in any Warrington student organizations? 

I am the chair of sustainability for the MBA Association. I am also a TedXUF speaker coach, a student government representative, and whip for the graduate caucus.

What is your favorite class? 

I am really liking my Quantitative Management Analysis Class.

Who is your favorite professor? 

Dr. [Rob] Stein.

What were your plans, pre-MBA? 

Learn as much as I could and eventually go down the executive track. For me it was all about finding that growth level.

What are your plans post-MBA? 

I want to be on the corporate strategy side. I also love government relations. You have to be able and willing to learn politics and use those politics to your advantage in the corporate world.

What is your favorite thing about Gainesville? 

Dragonfly Sushi and Albert E. Gator. I also love how collaborative Gainesville is. People don’t realize the caliber of UF. People work very hard here have other outlets that balance our academic experiences.

What is your favorite business book?

Mastery by Robert Greene. It describes how important mentorship is.

What is some MBA advice you may have given a younger self?

I think some would say to prepare for the GMAT and take time for yourself, but I did unique and interesting things that set me apart. Make sure you do something interesting and noteworthy, something to set yourself apart from the crowd.

How about those who are just beginning the application process?

Be yourself in the interview. Everyone is so different in our program each with unique experiences, backgrounds, and capabilities. If you don’t show who you are as a person you are underselling yourself.
