Interests & Activities

Interests:  I enjoy staying active during my free time by engaging in sports like basketball, volleyball, and weightlifting at the Duncan Student Center. Additionally, I love about binge-watching TV shows and spending quality time with friends. Exploring the diverse spots in South Bend, as well as intriguing areas on campus, is always an enjoyable adventure. Notre Dame's picturesque surroundings have recently inspired me to take leisurely walks or runs as a new hobby as well!

Activities:  I am a QuestBridge National Match Scholar (Full Scholarship Award), Balfour-Hesburgh Scholar, Mary E. Galvin Science and Engineering Scholar, and Fighting Irish Scholar. Over the past few years, I've been actively involved on campus, serving on the executive boards of first-generation groups such as First-Gen Careers and 1stG ND. Additionally, I've expanded my involvement in policy and student government work by serving on the Diversity Council and as the Assistant Student Union Treasurer. Driven by my passion for business, I also serve on the executive board of BBAND, a group that connects students of color with different firms in the business sector. As the founder of the Equity in Business Initiative (EBI) within the Mendoza School of Business, I am dedicated to ensuring equal access for all students interested in business, regardless of their major, background, or competency in the field. The EBI recently launched the Irish in Business Scholars program, a rigorous training initiative for 20 freshman students focused on personal and professional development.
