about

I'm currently working in SF at a Series A fintech startup called Two Dots. We're automating the income verification process for rental applications. My role sits at the intersection of product, bizops, and finance.

Before this, I graduated from Stanford, where I concentrated on International Relations and Data Science within the Political Science major. I also was lucky enough to take some GSB courses focused on startups, negotiations, and sports business. Some additional past experiences:

• Healthcare consulting @ Mindfrog
• Venture capital @ Correlation Ventures
• ML internship @ Dynam.AI

In addition to startups and investing, I think a lot about sports, especially football and soccer. Right now, France is my pick to win the World Cup. I share my thoughts on my Substack. A few pieces from there:

• West Ham's relegation — and what we can learn from it
• Sometimes, the Human Element Cannot be Replaced
• David Protein: Diving Deeper

in addition

I'm an avid golfer. My favorite course as of now is Te Arai South in New Zealand.

I've also gotten more interested in hiking recently. The Presidio is a great local option. Also had a great time at the Jenner Headlands Preserve.

I'm also a Chargers and Tottenham fan. Big things coming with De Zerbi as our new manager!
