Arielle Shemesh

I am an MBA candidate at the University of Illinois, specializing in entrepreneurship and digital innovation. Raised in Chicago, I grew up in the cold Midwest but am now grateful to call Tucson’s beautiful Sonoran Desert home. My professional background includes serving as a sergeant coordinator in the military and working as a nonprofit project coordinator, where I developed strong skills in community outreach, collaboration, and impact-driven initiatives. While I don’t have a green thumb, I fully support what CGT stands for and am excited to contribute in other meaningful ways.
