About

Founder's Choice started back in 2019 when I first became interested in startups. After joining the Central Intelligence Agency in 2020, I took a brief hiatus from writing to focus on my career as a Finance Officer and eventually an Operations Analyst. I left the CIA in March of 2022 and returned home to Chicago, IL shortly after my father passed from COVID. As of now, I'm a management consultant and pursuing my MBA at NYU Stern. I received my undergraduate degree in Finance at Penn State. Writing is my outlet so I am looking to get better as time goes on. Thanks for taking the time to read a bit about me!
