I grew up in a pretty suburb of Detroit, Michigan, in a family of doctors. Seeing that my parents saved lives… I wanted to have a meaningful impact too.

I've always been drawn to the foundational, human-level things like health, energy, financial wellbeing, fun, etc. but I couldn't choose just one, because they all mattered and I didn't want to ignore any.

Then I discovered what business was. Not just money and suits, but the way people and resources organize around a vision to make it real, driving change across all these areas and around the world.

I went on to study business (and psychology) at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. I loved learning the fundamentals, and quickly became fascinated by how startups were applying them in creative ways to reimagine what's possible, from computing with human DNA to solving nuclear fusion and teaching machines to reason for themselves.

Inspired by these grand visions, innovative technologies, and daring founders, I built a social media channel with 100k+ views breaking down the coolest startups, and landed a venture capital internship analyzing startup investments and talking directly with entrepreneurs.

But I wanted to do more than analyze these ideas. I wanted to understand how they figure out what to do next, and grow into businesses that reshape entire spaces.

I moved to New York and became a business growth strategy consultant at Prophet, helping companies grow revenue (as opposed to cutting costs) across markets and geographies, everything from peanuts and biopharma in America to wealth management in Germany.

For the past few years, I've helped Fortune 500 companies innovate and grow by understanding what people need, and figuring out how to meet those needs through unique brand, marketing, and product strategies.

I've learned a ton about how businesses and their leaders think, make decisions, and grow, and I've been excited to apply these learnings alongside AI, using new tools and finding new ways to create impact for clients.
