Hey Twenty Peeps! I'm Amari - a Chicago native, currently living in Boston where I'm getting my MBA and MS in Engineering. Prior to grad school, I worked in the automotive industry - mostly in various manufacturing environments, focused on process improvement.

Outside of work, I try to be active in my community. As a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and member and past national/regional leader in the National Society of Black Engineers, I’ve spent much time creating various opportunities for underrepresented minorities to excel in any way they can, both personally and professionally .

If I’m not in class or leading a club or volunteering in the community, you can probably find me somewhere chatting with someone about sneakers, or the most recent Black owned business I’ve discovered and plan to support.

Post-grad school, I hope to enter the retail industry and continue focusing on process improvement with the long-term goal of finding ways to help small business build resilient supply chains to ensure their long-term success.

For now though, I'd love to chat with you! Hit me up if you want to talk about being first-gen, an introvert or a minority engineer. I’m also happy to discuss applying to business school, handling rejection from your dream school or reapplying to school. If we have some time left over during our call, I’m also happy to chat about the latest sneaker drops or your fav small business to support!

• Navigating male-dominant careers (especially in manufacturing/automotive industry)
• Tackling engineering interviews
• Applying or reapplying to business school
• Being a first-gen college student
• Grad school-life balance

• How to survive as an introvert in a world full of extroverts
• Being a minority in tech
• Starting new life journeys across the country
• How to build the confidence to be unapologetically you in seemingly “conservative” environments

Love to chat about shoes, individuality, volleyball, supporting small businesses and building resilient supply chains!

• Supportive, but honest. I’m happy to listen to your goals and help you brainstorm ways to achieve them. But I'll also tell you the truth about the challenges you might face along the way.
• Organized and prepared. I go into almost every meeting I attend with an agenda and a plan for how I want the meeting to run. I will always ensure we are making the most effective use of our time together.
• Chill and fun. Very serious meetings always make me nervous and being an introvert, it always gets awkward if I can find a way to bring some humor or fun into the meeting. So I’ll do my best to make sure we both feel at ease as we work together.
