Summary

I'm a business student at Hope College interested in marketing, entrepreneurship, and building systems that create real value. I'm driven by the challenge of turning ideas into tangible products or services. I'm particularly interested in the intersection of marketing, technology, and human behavior, and how these forces shape decisions and drive growth. Outside the classroom, I spend much of my time building projects, learning new skills, and solving problems.
