The big-ticket item in my life is a BS Degree in Supply Chain Management from RIT, with graduation expected in Spring 2025. I am also pursuing a Minor in Environmental Studies. I do not plan to pursue graduate school, and instead want to work somewhere in the transit or logistics industry in 2025 and beyond.

This summer (2024), I am working at Amtrak in their Procurement Department as a Capital Equipment and Leasing Intern. My role is focused on heavy equipment rental requests from inside the company, along with supporting work on external solicitations to ensure good standing with federal regulations and company policies.

Outside of the 9-5, a portion of my time each week goes to the Institute for Youth in Policy (YIP), where I currently serve as Chief of Staff and have been involved since June 2021. My work at YIP focuses on two main areas:

1. Overseeing the "non-impact" activities — Finance, Technology, etc. This always is a balancing act between providing good support and ensuring that the majority of our resources go towards impact, not administration.
2. Building out and maintaining workflows, such as a process to report monthly progress across 25 sub-departments in a fully remote operating environment.

There's a lot of numbers that can quantify the impact YIP has had (and a few of them are impressive) but for me, our greatest impact is on the micro, not macro level: with every student that matriculates through our programs and onto favorable outcomes, the web of problems surrounding civics and politics becomes a little easier to untangle.

Other Side Projects & Commitments

From January 2023 - May 2024 I was an intern and then part-time Supply Chain Technician at D3 Engineering, an embedded design solutions company. My role was to improve supply chain operations and reduce inventory turnover as the company was expanding its manufacturing department to support higher volume runs for customers with a domestic buying preference. I gained exposure to the semiconductor and electronics industries, and also learned how to work around the constraints of legacy systems.

I grew up in the Chicagoland area (a suburb in Cook County) until 2020, when I moved to Rochester for university. I have also called Philadelphia home.

• I play some simulation video games and have spent way too much time on a Cities: Skylines II map this year.
  • My #1 game by playtime is Factorio.
• I have a decent interest for architecture and building design, inspired by my childhood in Chicago and various walking tours.
