About

I’m a cross-functional startup operator with 4–5 years of experience across SaaS, edtech, and services, currently pursuing my PGP at Mesa School of Business (Class of 2026). I’ve worked closely with founders and leadership teams, taking on messy, undefined problems and driving execution across product, ops, content, and GTM. My strength lies in communication, systems thinking, and getting teams to move from ambiguity to outcomes. Outside of professional space: I'm an audiophile, I love coffee( a lot), I write and love all sorts of sports.
