Biography

I’m a rising sophomore student-athlete at the University of Notre Dame, studying Economics and competing on the Division I Fencing Team. As a co-founder of a nonprofit organization with my sister, I’ve developed strong communication skills, learned to consistently meet high-pressure deadlines, and found creative ways to generate sustainable revenue. These experiences have shaped my work ethic both on and off the strip and continue to drive my passion for excellence, leadership, and impact.
