About Me:

A turnaround and restructuring consultant looking to transition into real estate via Kellogg’s 1Y program.

Big Life Wins:

Gaining clarity on where my interests lie (relationship building, investing) and where they don’t lie (computer science, technology) took years of thought, trial & error, and humility. Coming to these realizations has been a HUGE life win. Other big wins include my first ironman triathlon and becoming an (amateur) improv comic.

Post MBA Goal:

Having invested in real estate individually since my undergraduate days I’ve developed an affinity for the 1. the combination of soft and hard-skills required for sustained success and 2. the relationship-based nature of the the industry. Kellogg offers ample courses and real-world training for those like me looking to pivot.
