Marpipe CEO and leadership

My dream is to change the way that communication is used in the relationship between financial institutions and society. After three ivy-league summer programs, three paid internships in marketing, founding a non-profit and a debate team, and creating my own major at BU called Financial Public Relations, I'm ready to tackle the problems that exist between the public and the corporations that steer the economy. The following is a condensed overview of my journey so far:

After receiving communications and grand strategy training from separate programs in Harvard, Dartmouth, and Yale, I founded a non-profit advocacy group, Censored Students, which raised over $10,000 worth of educational resources for under-privileged students. We donated it all to a neighboring school district where average incomes were below the poverty line.

I also founded Marlboro's Speech & Debate Team. I petitioned the school district for funding and built the program from scratch. In the state of New Jersey, I became ranked First for Extemporaneous Speech and Fifth in J.V. Public-Forum Debate.

During the Summer of 2014, I worked directly with Emmy-Award winning producer Mark Macias, the owner of Macias PR, and was involved in every aspect of the business. We solved problems every entrepreneur faces, coordinated media strategies, and attended networking events together. We've also co-written and published a white paper about PR for the financial sector called, "A Statistical Look at the Benefits of Financial PR for Private Equity and Hedge Funds." (contact me for a copy)

I became President of Mountainview College after being elected by a community of over 1,100 scholars to represent student interests and preside over programming. I managed over $20,000 of public university funding to sponsor events/students groups and there are over 40 other elected officials that reported to my office. After a successful term, I was appointed to be the Chief of Staff of the entire Student Association at BU.

Building teams, driving revenue, developing and hitting goals, and surrounding people with realism-optimism-humor is what I do best. My passion for developing connections and turning ideas into ventures is ever-present.
