Charlie Smith Award
I was honored with the Charlie Smith Award, presented to the team member who best exemplifies the values of rowing: teamwork, dedication, and leadership. This award recognized my commitment to fostering team cohesion, contributing to the success of my teammates, and consistently striving to lead by example both on and off the water.
IRCA Division I Scholar-Athlete
I was honored as an Empacher-IRCA Scholar-Athlete by the Intercollegiate Rowing Coaches Association, recognizing my commitment to both academic and athletic excellence. This distinction is awarded to rowers and coxswains who have completed at least two years of eligibility, competed in their program's top three boats during the current season or raced at the IRA Championship, and maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher.
Disney Case Competition – 3rd Place Finish
I participated in Walt Disney World’s first-ever nationwide Case Study Competition, representing Northeastern University. Competing against teams from across the United States, my team tackled a real-world business challenge with limited data and strict time constraints. We developed an innovative solution by creating a detailed project scope, defining success metrics, and crafting actionable recommendations.
Our efforts earned us third place, showcasing our ability to think critically, collaborate effectively, and deliver results under pressure. This experience not only sharpened my analytical and problem-solving skills but also allowed me to engage with Disney professionals and gain insights into real-world business operations.
