I'm incredibly interested in bringing real-world skills and business radar to Catholic students, from my experience at McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, UBS and Schlumberger. Specifically, my 'Wall Street bootcamp' experience at Goldman Sachs is something I can easily replicate at Ave Maria. I also led the Innovation Olympics globally for McKinsey, and eager to roll-out similar programming at Ave Maria, as a class and business school ecosystem.
