ABOUT
Aaron
Aaron Carlson is thrilled to be working on this project with best friend and fellow Loyola alum, Ioanna Kekatos. Aaron approaches life through a lens of curiosity, integrity, and a willingness to take risks. He believes that educating yourself and being critical of the world around you is paramount to finding where a good story starts. Likewise, he would argue that no story ever has a true ending.
Aaron earned a bachelor’s of business administration with honors from Loyola University Chicago, and also holds two master’s degrees from Northern Illinois University, an MBA and an M.S. of higher education.
His diverse career background and extensive written work prepares him well for critical discussion on a variety of topics, including wellness, corporate/political strategy and issues pertaining to social justice and equity.
Aaron is thrilled to be joining Amazon at the end of the summer as an Operations Area Manager! In his off time he invests in the market, goes for runs, travels with his fiancé, and bakes whatever his fiancé is craving.
