MBA Student at Metropolitan State University of Denver

I hold a Master of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems, along with a Digital Marketing Certificate from MSU Denver. My professional background includes advising on immigration, education, and business-related topics, with a strong focus on connecting policy, technology, and real-world outcomes. I’m particularly interested in how cities can leverage smart technologies, sustainable strategies, and community-driven initiatives to improve governance and quality of life. Through my writing, I aim to share actionable insights, best practices, and lessons learned that help professionals and communities grow together.
