I am a Dartmouth College graduate with an MBA from the University of Arkansas and nearly a decade of professional experience at PepsiCo across sales, business strategy, finance, marketing, national accounts, and organizational leadership.
Throughout my career, I regularly taught, coached, and developed professionals at different stages of their careers. Most recently, I led a $450 million business and an organization of more than 400 people. My roles required me to take complex business concepts, financial information, data, and strategy and translate them into practical actions that people could understand and execute.
I am particularly well suited to help students and professionals with business fundamentals, marketing, sales, personal finance fundamentals, career development, interviewing, presentations, and professional communication. I can also help students connect concepts they learn in the classroom with how those concepts are actually applied in large organizations.
My approach is practical and conversational. I first make sure a student understands the underlying concept, then work through examples and applications until they are comfortable explaining and using it independently. I enjoy breaking complicated topics into simple frameworks and adapting explanations to the individual learner.
In addition to my professional experience, my academic background includes a BA from Dartmouth College and an MBA with concentrations in Finance and Marketing from the University of Arkansas. I am excited to work with high school and college students, graduate students, and working professionals who want to strengthen their understanding of business or develop practical professional skills.

Basketball

I worked for the Indiana Pacers organization after graduating from Dartmouth College, gaining firsthand exposure to a professional NBA environment. I have been involved with basketball throughout my life and have a strong understanding of the game, including fundamentals, strategy, positioning, and team concepts. I can help players better understand the game and develop their basketball knowledge and decision-making. My approach emphasizes fundamentals, game situations, and learning the “why” behind what happens on the court.
Business

I hold a BA from Dartmouth College and an MBA in Finance and Marketing from the University of Arkansas. I spent nearly eight years at PepsiCo in roles spanning business strategy, sales, marketing, national accounts, and leadership. Most recently, I led a $450M business and an organization of more than 400 people. I can help students understand business concepts through practical, real-world examples and connect classroom material to how businesses actually operate.
Career Development

Career Development

I spent nearly eight years at PepsiCo progressing through strategy, sales, and leadership roles, ultimately leading an organization of more than 400 people. As a senior leader, I regularly interviewed, hired, coached, and developed employees and helped team members navigate career decisions and advancement. I can help with resumes, interview preparation, professional communication, career planning, and transitioning from school into the workplace. I also bring the perspective of someone who has successfully navigated multiple roles and levels within a Fortune 50 company.
Football

Football

I played varsity football at Dartmouth College, competing at the NCAA Division I level in the Ivy League. My experience gave me a strong understanding of football fundamentals, position responsibilities, offensive and defensive concepts, preparation, and team strategy. I can help athletes improve their understanding of the game, including technique, film study, situational awareness, and football IQ. I also understand the demands of balancing academics and athletics and can provide perspective to student-athletes pursuing opportunities at the collegiate level.

I spent nearly eight years at PepsiCo and ultimately led an organization of more than 400 people, giving me extensive experience interviewing and evaluating candidates across a range of roles and career levels. I can help clients prepare for behavioral and competency-based interviews, structure strong responses, practice through mock interviews, and communicate their experience with confidence. I also have firsthand experience navigating competitive corporate recruiting processes from both the hiring manager and candidate perspectives. My approach focuses on realistic practice, specific feedback, and helping each person tell their professional story clearly and authentically.
MBA

I earned my MBA from the University of Arkansas with concentrations in Finance and Marketing, graduating with a 3.7 GPA. I then spent nearly eight years at PepsiCo applying business concepts across strategy, finance, marketing, sales, and general management. I can help MBA students understand coursework, work through business cases, prepare presentations, and connect academic concepts to real-world business decisions. My approach focuses on simplifying complex concepts and helping students develop practical business judgment rather than simply memorizing material.
