About

I'm a Marketing graduate from Purdue University's Mitch Daniels School of Business, with a focus on the industries I'm most passionate about: sports, food and beverage, and the consumer brands that sit at the intersection of both.

My path to marketing has been anything but one-dimensional. I spent years building operational and customer-facing skills on the front lines at Chipotle and Smoothie King, where I learned what brand experience actually looks and feels like from the consumer's perspective. That ground-level view now shapes how I think about marketing strategy. At A22 Customs, I stepped into a marketing and videography role that put content creation, client relationships, and brand storytelling into practice. I'm drawn to work where data and creativity have to coexist.

Beyond coursework, I spent four years in leadership roles with Purdue Musical Organizations and the Gemini Cooperative, managing recruitment, leading teams, and developing the kind of relationship-building skills that don't show up on a transcript. Being an Eagle Scout taught me early that complex projects get done through accountability and follow-through, not just good intentions.

I'm currently exploring roles in sports marketing and food and beverage brand marketing, where I can contribute on campaigns, content, and consumer strategy while continuing to grow. I'm a quick learner who brings real consumer experience, a strategic mindset, and genuine enthusiasm for the brands and industries I'd represent.
If you're working in sports, hospitality, or food and beverage marketing, or know someone who is, I'd welcome the connection.
