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.
