- Research Program Mentor

MBA at University of Washington

Expertise

Business, Economics, Sports Data & Analytics, Psychology

Bio

I am a Fordham University alumnus with a bachelor’s degree in Economics and Theology, and I recently earned my MBA from the University of Washington’s Foster School of Business ('26). Professionally and academically, I operate at the intersection of economics, capital deployment and ethical studies. Driven by a deep interest in industrial/organizational psychology and the business side of sports, media, and entertainment, I also serve as a part-time staff writer for a local newspaper in Harlem, New York. Outside of work and school, you can find me running, boxing, reading, or trying to master the perfect pancake. Fun fact: I am the only left-handed member of my immediate family, a distinction that rewarded me plenty of playful scolding at the dinner table for eating with the "wrong hand" growing up.

AI Powered Performance Analysis and Injury Prevention in Sports

This proposed project aims study how AI-based systems can be utilized to assess athletes' performance and predict potential injuries. By integrating machine learning/AI algorithms with wearable technology and video analysis, this study will provide real-time feedback and long-term insights to improve training efficiency and prevent injuries.

Teaching experience

During the summers of 2013 & 2014, during my undergraduate tenure at Fordham University, I was apart of the Science & Technology Entrance Program (STEP) as a summer tutor/counselor for students entering the 9th -11th grades. Within this role, I collaborated with the geometry and economic teachers to develop lessons plans, pop-quizzes and homework assignments for students. Additionally, I worked cohesively with other tutor/counselors and senior leadership in organizing educational field trips for students to expand students' learning experience
