As a Senior Director at EY-Parthenon, I revel in guiding businesses through the labyrinth of complex transactions, all the while ensuring a smooth integration of digital and cyber programs. Fluent in both engineer-ese and boardroom jargon, I excel in harmonizing technical and functional goals with a company\'s grand vision. Currently pursuing a Master\'s in Computer Information Technology (Computer Science) at the University of Pennsylvania, my voyage into the tech universe is fueled by an insatiable curiosity and a thirst for perpetual learning.

Outside the corporate cosmos, I\'m the proud founder of MustardSeedInUs, a non-profit organization extending a helping hand to underserved communities in Honduras. This noble pursuit has sharpened my abilities as a steadfast, tenacious, and pragmatic motivator—attributes that I infuse into every facet of my professional life.
