SELECTED PROJECTS
Turning problems into systems, strategies, and measurable results.
These projects reflect how I approach problems across operations, organizational strategy, business development, and leadership: understand how something works, identify where it can improve, and turn that analysis into action.
01 — OLE MISS BUSINESS CLUB
Building the Operating System Behind a 900+ Member Organization
Strategy · Operations · Organizational Design · Leadership
As President of the Ole Miss Business Club, I lead an organization that has grown to more than 900 active members. As OMBC expanded, the challenge became more than increasing membership. We needed an organization capable of managing more people, programs, partnerships, events, and opportunities without every decision flowing through one person.
My focus has been building the infrastructure behind that growth: clearer leadership responsibilities, stronger internal systems, repeatable processes, centralized resources, and greater accountability across the executive team.
My Role
President & Organizational Lead
I oversee organizational strategy, executive leadership, programming, corporate relationships, and operations while working to build systems that allow other leaders to independently own and execute their areas.
What I Built
- Executive and departmental leadership structure
- Defined roles, responsibilities, and ownership
- Executive planning and action-item tracking systems
- Centralized organizational resources and documentation
- Repeatable systems for programs, events, partnerships, and member engagement
- Processes designed to improve delegation and accountability

What This Project Taught Me
Growth creates complexity. Building something larger is only valuable if the systems behind it can support that growth. Leading OMBC has made me think differently about delegation, organizational design, accountability, and the difference between personally completing work and building a team capable of executing it.
02 — SKYWARD CONSTRUCTION GROUP
Finding Operational Inefficiencies Through Data
Operations · Process Improvement · Cost Analysis · Construction
During my time with Skyward Construction Group, I analyzed the operations of a commercial construction project to understand where time, labor, and resources were being lost.
Rather than looking at one isolated problem, I studied the project as a system using time studies, labor-cost analysis, bills of materials, workflow comparisons, and process mapping.
My Role
Operations & Business Development Intern
I collected and analyzed operational data, compared workflows, identified sources of inefficiency, and developed recommendations aimed at improving future project execution.
My Approach
- Conducted time studies
- Analyzed labor costs
- Reviewed bills of materials
- Compared team workflows
- Evaluated material staging and inventory practices
- Examined scheduling and project documentation
- Mapped processes to identify sources of delay and unnecessary cost
Key Findings
$4,912.50
Excess labor costs identified
37.36%
Time-savings difference associated with a role-specific team workflow
The analysis resulted in recommendations around workflow standardization, material staging, inventory, scheduling, and project documentation designed to reduce future delays and unnecessary costs.
What This Project Taught Me
Operational problems rarely exist in isolation. A delay that appears to be a labor problem may actually begin with staging, communication, scheduling, or process design. This project strengthened my ability to break a complex operation into measurable components and use data to identify the underlying problem.
03 — RECRUITING ACCELERATOR
Designing a System for Competitive Internship Recruiting
Program Design · Strategy · Systems Thinking · Career Development
Competitive recruiting can quickly become fragmented. Students are simultaneously managing applications, networking, interviews, assessments, deadlines, and different recruiting timelines across companies.
I created the OMBC Recruiting Accelerator to turn that process into a structured system.
My Role
Founder & Program Lead
I designed the program from the ground up, selected the initial cohort, developed its resources and operating structure, and worked directly with participants throughout their recruiting processes.
What I Built
- Cohort-based recruiting program
- Individual participant workspaces
- Opportunity and deadline tracking
- Recruiting timelines
- Resume review process
- Networking strategy
- Interview and HireVue preparation
- Accountability systems
- Track-specific resources based on recruiting stage
- Central internship resource library
Participants have recruited with organizations including JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, Regions Bank, Sony Music, GE HealthCare, and others.
The Idea Behind It
The goal was not to help students submit more applications. It was to build a repeatable process that helped them approach recruiting more strategically.
Instead of treating every application as an independent event, the Accelerator connects opportunities, preparation, networking, deadlines, and accountability within one system.
What This Project Taught Me
Some of the best systems begin with a problem you experience yourself. Building the Recruiting Accelerator showed me how individual knowledge can be turned into infrastructure that other people can use.
04 — CORPORATE PARTNERSHIPS
Turning Corporate Relationships Into Organizational Opportunities
Business Development · Partnership Strategy · Financial Planning · Stakeholder Management
As OMBC grew, I became increasingly interested in how an organization can create partnerships that generate value for both companies and students.
My work has included helping develop OMBC's approach to sponsorships and corporate partnerships, from identifying potential partners and developing proposals to planning activations and connecting corporate relationships to programming and recruiting opportunities.
My Role
President & Partnership Lead
I work alongside OMBC leadership, university stakeholders, and external executives to develop and manage relationships that support the organization's programming, funding, recruiting access, and member opportunities.
What I Work On
- Corporate prospecting and relationship development
- Sponsorship strategy
- Partnership proposals and impact materials
- Budget and funding discussions
- Partnership positioning and value propositions
- Campus activation planning
- Executive and stakeholder communication
- Connecting partnerships to student programming and recruiting
From Sponsorship to Partnership
I have learned that the strongest corporate relationships are not simply transactions.
The goal is to understand what a company is trying to accomplish, understand what OMBC can genuinely provide, and find the overlap where both sides benefit.
That approach has helped support more than $115,000 in sponsorship funding while developing relationships and collaborations with organizations including Regions Bank and Sony Music Nashville.
What This Project Taught Me
Business development is largely about understanding incentives. A strong proposal begins with asking what the other side values, not simply what your organization wants from them.

The common thread
The industries and problems are different, but my approach is usually the same: understand the system, ask better questions, use data where possible, and build something that makes the organization work better.
I am especially interested in work involving strategy, operations, organizational growth, business development, and the intersection of business, technology, and law.

Interested in working together?
Whether it is an internship or professional opportunity, a potential partnership, or simply a shared interest in a problem I am exploring, I am always interested in meeting people doing thoughtful work.
