Introduction

Building a career at the seam where consumer psychology meets business growth.

I'm a Saint Louis University B.S. candidate, Class of 2029, with concentrations in marketing and applied psychology.

Currently, I'm a Business Development/Marketing Intern at Enterprise Mobility's startup program — applying business insight and customer insight to commercial sales — and the founder of Westhird, a web design agency for small businesses and local trades.
