What is your long term career goal?
Long term, I plan to transition into a role that will allow me make an impact on the delivery of health care in underserved communities. There are a significant number of hospitals that are failing their populace due to gross mismanagement. Many have provided quality care in the past, and were once beacons within their communities. My ultimate aspiration is to develop turnaround protocols which can be replicated and implemented in health care institutions throughout the country.

Favorite Course or Professor at RSB and why?
Entrepreneurial Turnaround Management. The course is taught by Keith Alessi, a corporate turnaround artist and former CEO (Ross alum as well). His class is great because it draws primarily on both his successes and missteps in managing companies. You can’t beat a teacher that is informative and entertaining in the same breath.

How has the BBSA shaped your Ross experience?
Interaction with BBSA members prior to business school was integral to my decision to attend Ross. There is no question BBSA is one of the most active and dynamic student groups on campus. BBSA professional programming has afforded opportunities to network with companies in intimate settings. Academic support has been available throughout my two years at Ross. Our community service activities have provided a forum through which we can give back. In spite of all of the programming BBSA provides, the best aspect is the support system that creates a true sense of family throughout the organization.
