Loyola MBA Candidate · Marketing × Supply Chain

Turning market insight into operational action.

My background in marketing, supply chain, analytics, and launching a small business allows me to connect customer expectations with the systems that deliver on them, a perspective I am continuing to strengthen as an MBA candidate at Loyola University Chicago.

The throughline

A business education built across functions

After earning a degree with majors in Marketing and Supply Chain Management, I gained hands-on experience in sales and small-business operations. These experiences showed me how customer needs, operational decisions, and brand execution come together.

Over time, I became increasingly interested in the strategy, development, and creative decisions behind a product: how it is positioned, delivered, and experienced. That curiosity led me to pursue an MBA at Loyola University Chicago’s Quinlan School of Business, where I am expanding my perspective across business functions.

This perspective guides how I approach business problems: begin with the customer, examine the systems behind the experience, and use evidence to connect strategy with execution.

Research on artificial intelligence in supply chain management and a Corewell Health capstone allowed me to apply that perspective to a practical question: how can emerging technology improve decisions, workflows, and outcomes?
