Class of 2026

Prior to Ross, I worked as an Analytics Consultant at Health Care Service Corporation in their Chicago office. In this client-facing role, I used Tableau and SQL to analyze claims data and help clients understand and make strategic decisions for their employee populations. I also collaborated continuously with sales and clinical teams, gaining cross-functional experience along the way. Although I enjoyed my time there, my dream was always to make a broader impact in healthcare. To achieve that, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in healthcare consulting. I aimed to improve my strategy, negotiation, and leadership skills to help me pivot. That’s why I applied to Ross—I was aware of the immense resources Ross offers, from action-based learning to classes, clubs, and, of course, a top MBA program.

Outside of the resources, the people are what make Ross special, and I can truly attest to that! I absolutely love being here!

In my free time, I enjoy working out, trying out new bars and restaurants, traveling, and spending quality time with friends.

Though I have been in Chicago for the past few years, I am originally from Dallas, Texas. Feel free to ask me about moving here from the South, anything healthcare-related, Ann Arbor,Chicago, the cold, or anything else!

I’m excited to speak with you all! And trust me, I completely understand what you’re feeling right now. Feel free to email me to set up a time. Talk to you soon! Good luck, and Go Blue!
