Class of 2026

I grew up in Toledo, Ohio, just a short drive away from Ann Arbor.  As a graduate of Michigan undergrad, I am ecstatic to be back on campus once again. Prior to this return, I worked for Dell Technologies in a Supply Chain Planning capacity.  My day-to-day consisted of tactical operations, modernization transitions, as well as overall process/strategy improvements.  My decision to pursue an MBA was driven by a desire to gain a broader understanding of the business world outside of operations. 

As far as the choice to attend Ross, that was fairly easy for me.  Many are aware that the program has elite standards on the academic, career, and networking fronts.  However, what ultimately put Ross over the top for me was a community that stood out as collaborative but not cutthroat.  My experience thus far has very much proven this to be true, as I've met countless supportive people and friends. 

I am pursuing a career in consulting and am currently a member of the Consulting Club.  Additionally, I'm involved with the Wolverine Wine Club, Basketball Club, Entertainment and Media Club, and the Detroit Initiative at Ross. 

Please reach out to me with any questions about Ross program specifics, the culture, the social community, Ann Arbor, or Michigan football (lifelong diehard fan here!).
