The Brief

I work on talent at Audacious Ventures.
- Mostly: helping early-stage teams hire the people who make or break them.
- The best part of the job is the first conversation with someone.
Before that, Head of Campus Growth at Curious Cardinals.
- Built the campus side of things from the ground up.
I did my Master's at Columbia and researched lung cancer evolution.
- Made cancer glow in the dark.
- Tumors, like humans, have very robust family relationships.
- Say thank you the next time you see a mouse they really go through it for medicine.
I studied biomedical engineering at Boston University.
- Conducted biosensor research to find ways to physically detect mental health diseases and IBS (very related, surprisingly).
If you want to chat, say hi, I'll always respond (until I make it, in which case, PEACE Y'ALL).
