Business Developer

Experienced developing programs, projects and key partnerships according to the organization's mission. My experience at Cornell University taught me how to critically-think in a fast-paced, high-stressed environment. My background working for a non-profit organization helped me understand, motivate and lead individuals while accomplishing goals with limited resources. Lastly, my education at Florida Atlantic University trained me to apply my skills and experience in a corporate setting.
