About Me
I am originally from Newport Beach, California, but in 2014 I moved up to Northern California where I obtained a Bachelors of Science in Bioengineering from Santa Clara University in the spring of 2018.

EXPERIENCE
Summer 2017
Project Management Intern
NOVARTIS
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Novartis, my employment there made me realize that I wanted to pursue a job in management. While I was there I had the privilege of being in charge of the logistical aspects of over 15 clinical trials. I also revised more than 100 standardized documents composed mostly of standard operating procedures and clinical trials requisition forms.
2015-2017
Research Assistant
SANTA CLARA UNIVERSITY
During my sophomore and junior years at Santa Clara I worked as a research intern in the tissue engineering lab of Dr. Bill Lu, MD, PhD. It was a great experience for me because I was able to work with a multitude of different cell lines and perform several different experiments and assays.
Summer 2015, 2016
Summer Camp Counselor
GOLD ARROW CAMP
The two summers that I spent working at Gold Arrow Camp taught me extremely valuable skills that have helped me throughout my academic and professional careers. While I was there I worked as a group counselor that was in charge of 10 children's daily schedules. That responsibility taught me how to become very time efficient and sharpened my organizational skills to a tee while also exposing me to a work environment that is vastly different than one most other engineers and managers have dealt with.
2014-2015
Engineering Design Intern
PORT OF LONG BEACH
For a project during my senior year in high school I worked under the Chief of Engineering Design at the Port of Long Beach, Neil Morrison. While I was there I was exposed to a multitude of engineering departments that Mr. Morrison oversaw, and what his duties as the chief of those departments entailed. It was during this internship that I began to develop an interest in management rather than strictly engineering.

FRATERNITY
While I was at Santa Clara for my undergraduate degree I was also in the Kappa Sigma chapter there. I served as President for a year and as Recruitment Chairman for a year as well. My time in leadership roles in my fraternity helped me understand what it takes to manage groups of people who do not agree on everything and it taught me valuable conflict resolution techniques.
COOKING
I started cooking while I was recovering from injuries I sustained during high school sports and I have loved it ever since.
SOCCER
Soccer was the sport I played the most growing up, but now I love to watch and attend soccer matches around the world. It also makes running enjoyable so its a great form of exercise
