WHY DID YOU CHOOSE DANIELS?

The Daniels College of Business Executive MBA program offers a global perspective, a diversity of complex topics and an intimate cohort size. The class schedule and program length are also ideal for balancing a demanding professional and personal life while getting the most out of school.

PRE-GRAD SCHOOL EXPERIENCE

I worked as a data analyst at the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) directly out of undergrad. I transitioned to a more technical business intelligence role at MGMA early in my career. After moving into management roles and growing in my organization, I am now the senior director of digital solutions at MGMA. I have also volunteered for various advisory boards to contribute to my professional communities, primarily in the IT space.  

POST-GRAD SCHOOL GOAL

My goal is to leave the EMBA program with a close group of lifelong friends and professional support. I also look forward to growing as a leader and exploring new passions I discover while in the program.

HOBBIES

I enjoy spending time with my girlfriend, family, friends and two pups. Traveling is a passion of mine. I also love running, exploring new restaurants and bars, bingeing TV (if I have time!), drinking good coffee, enjoying live music (especially at Red Rocks), and listening to audiobooks.
