Powerful technology has a communication problem. I'm built to solve it.
New York, New York
Hi, I'm Nyah.
I'm a Stanford Bioengineering graduate and Dean's Fellow in Columbia's Project Management program, Technology Management track. My engineering foundation taught me how to approach complex problems. My passion has always been making sure the people encountering those problems are equipped to understand them clearly — and act.
My experience spans project management, cross-functional collaboration and strategic communication — from leading a C-suite pitch campaign at IPG Health to securing a $10K grant from strategy to submission. I'm a National Champion speaker and a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
Communication isn't just a skill for me — it's a personal mission.
It started with learning how to explain anything — fast.
In 2021 I won the NSDA National Championship in Prepared Prompt / Impromptu Speaking — a prompt, a few minutes, and a room to persuade. At Stanford I turned that into teaching others to do the same.
NSDA National Champion — Prepared Prompt / Impromptu.
Communication workshops I designed and led for Writing & Rhetoric students.
Why it mattersMaking complex ideas land for a real audience is the skill everything else in this story builds on.
Then I learned the technical side — and how to make it human.
At Stanford I earned a B.S. in Bioengineering (December 2025), with a Minor in Art Practice and a Notation in Cultural Rhetoric — and spent time both in a research lab and behind a camera.
Bioengineering
The rigor to understand how complex technical systems actually work.
Art Practice
The visual craft to make ideas look as clear as they sound.
Cultural Rhetoric
How messages move people — and why they sometimes don't.
Why it mattersI can sit in the lab and understand the work — then make it look and sound clear to everyone else.
Then I put it all to work — and got results.
A global healthcare agency, a university funding office and my family's business — three different worlds, the same skill.
Concurrent project routes on the Global Libtayo account.
Interns I led as Project Manager, judged by the IPG Health CEO.
To fund Stanford's first Black Greek Alumni Reunion.
Why it mattersLeading people, winning stakeholders and shipping software — the same communication skill, applied three ways.
Along the way, I made sure others could rise too.
Mentoring has been a constant for 6+ years — college essays, fellow interns, my sorority and my community back home in Illinois.
College application essays edited and coached.
Alumni interviewed for an alumni relations project.
Selected as one of 1,000 Career Prep Fellows.
Why it mattersHelping someone find and tell their story is the same work as helping a user understand a product.
Now I'm studying how technology gets built.
I'm in Columbia University's M.S. in Project Management for Technology — part of the inaugural cohort, selected as a Dean's Fellow. New York, NY · Fall 2026.

M.S. Project Management for Technology.
Inaugural class
Among the first students in the program.
Why it mattersUnderstanding how tech teams plan and deliver is where the communication gap really opens — and where I can close it.
Next, I want to close the gap.
I want to join a team where I can work at the intersection of technology and people — contributing across functions, moving fast and making a tangible impact early. I'm drawn to environments where complex problems need clear thinking and clear communication to move forward.
Operations
Timelines, check-ins and workflows that keep teams moving.
Strategy
Turning complex problems into a clear plan people can act on.
Product
Making sure what gets built makes sense to the people using it.
Coaching
Available for communication coaching and mentorship conversations.
