Where you've been in your career and where you are going...

I have led marketing teams at some of the most iconic unicorn startups throughout Silicon Valley: Poshmark (IPO in 2021), 图钉(3美元.2亿美元的估值)，甚至更多. When I saw COVID-19 crush San Francisco’s most iconic local businesses, I decided to quit my cushy 9-5 job in Tech to go full-time with my then side hustle, 出售jif媒体. I originally founded 出售jif媒体 out of high school to help my entrepreneur parents with their small businesses. 随着时间的推移，这种副业自然地发展起来. 今天, 网上赌博网站十大排行是一个20人的团队, 由屡获殊荣的营销人员组成, 数据分析师, MBA品牌战略家.

弗吉尼亚理工大学如何让我适应“现实世界”...

Virginia Tech equipped me for success by providing me with a much deeper understanding of data. 更重要的是, I learned how to communicate and visualize data in a meaningful way for stakeholders to make key decisions.

A key habit, practice, or skill that's worth the effort...


问重要的问题.

对我的工作或行业最大的误解...



I believe a misconception about the marketing industry is that one 'fix' can solve all your problems. In result, there are agencies who are too quick to share a solution with a proper diagnosis. 类似于人类健康, a proper marketing diagnosis and prescription is the difference between life and death. 质量问题! 优秀的营销人员:倾听. 优秀的营销人员:问有质量的问题. Best Marketers: actively listen, diagnose, and then prescribe.

The work project/initiative you're most excited about...

现在, I am most excited about leveraging all the wins in artificial intelligence (AI) to best help our clients scale their businesses. My undergraduate and Master of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Business Analytics (MSBA-BA) degrees from Virginia Tech have given me the superpower of understanding data and pattern recognition at a high level. I am super passionate about finding opportunities through data. 从那里, we are able to prescribe marketing solutions with the latest and greatest AI technology (of course, 由人类指导)!

最美好的弗吉尼亚理工大学记忆或传统...

Being a member of the Virginia Tech MSBA-BA capstone team that contracted with Amdocs, 是以色列领先的软件和服务提供商. We traveled to Tel Aviv to present our work to Amdocs’ executive team. This was an invaluable opportunity to gain experience working with international clients and adapting to diverse business cultures.

作为弗吉尼亚理工大学校友最好的一点就是...

了不起的校友和击败弗吉尼亚大学!

Words of encouragement to a current Virginia Tech student...


Look for the intersection of service and leadership. Reverse engineer your business solutions by first understanding where you can help. 从那里, you can identify opportunities that will make a real impact...Take things one step at a time and stay true to yourself and the mission!

这是我得到的最好的建议...


更经常地问，“我能帮什么忙?. It is amazing the doors this one, simple question can open :)

这是我最热衷的事业...



In the summer of 2011, I co-founded the 'Beat the Streets' organization. The organization coordinates with the Loudoun County Court system and the local juvenile detention centers to assist at-risk youth. The Beat the Streets team serves as mentors and hosts several events each year such as bowling nights, 电影之夜, and barbecues for adolescents struggling to transition into adulthood.
