About Me

T-shaped builder specializing in strategy and operations from a generalist's point of view.

Background

Born in California, raised in Colorado and Pennsylvania before returning to my roots for undergrad and master's degrees. Work took me to New York City where I enjoyed the creativity and energy of the greatest city in the world.

I've called San Francisco home for the last three years, where I enjoy trail running in the Marin Headlands, a diverse food scene, and easy non-stop travel abroad. My partner, Michael, and I live in the city with our dog, Bella, and are regulars in Golden Gate Park.

Education

My undergraduate studies were focused on Religious Studies, with an emphasis on Christian and Jewish Literature. With plans to pursue a Ph.D in Theology and a career in academia, I craved a marketplace application for my studies on purpose, identity, and virtue. I designed my own dual Masters Degrees between Theology and Social Entrepreneurship, engaging in business studies with an emphasis on impact and social good. I credit these programs with my launch into the startup ecosystem and my interest in designing scalable businesses and nonprofits aimed at redeeming broken industries and building a better future.
