My Education

Executive Master of Natural Resources + Certificate in Global Sustainability

I pursued this specific program because of my passion for improving the spaces people live in and to understand better how deeply interconnected our world is. It strengthened my systems-thinking abilities and reminded me that anyone can lead from wherever they are.

Bachelor of Science: Civil Engineering Technology

I grew up building things with my dad, but I never considered engineering as a viable career path because I wasn't exposed to engineers, especially women engineers, in my early life. Earning this degree later in life was a challenge to myself to pursue a life I was proud of and live without regrets. It taught me advanced technical skills and sharpened the attention to detail I now bring to every project.

Master of Business Administration

I started my MBA young, unsure of where life would lead me. It strengthened my critical thinking and teamwork abilities, but its greatest gift was exposure to global perspectives through study experiences in London and across India. These opened my mind to an entirely new world and lead to a life I never could have imagined.

Bachelor of Science: Fashion Merchandising

I chose this program with little idea of what I wanted from life. It sounded exciting, was close to home, and Kent State had one of the best fashion programs in the country. I worked hard, saved money, and finished at 20 years old, providing me with early lessons in discipline, drive, and creating my own path.
