About me: I was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago. I come from a large, crazy, but always entertaining family; 3 siblings, over 20 cousins, a dog, two cats, and numerous hamsters and goldfish over the years. I competed in USTA tennis tournaments throughout junior high and high school and still enjoy a match and watching pro tournaments. I graduated from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where I focused on applied math and computer science. I was fascinated by computing algorithms and the necessity for extremely fast, efficient algorithms in order for high-frequency trading software to make trading decisions in fractions of a second on the stock market. However, I also love working with people and breaking down difficult concepts. Selling Cisco’s solutions is the perfect opportunity to take a complex, exciting, and rapidly changing technological world and demonstrate the value that it can bring to businesses around the globe. I am very excited to be at Cisco and can’t wait to see what lies ahead!
