I try to advance openness, justice, and connectivity.
TLDR:
I graduated from Wheaton College in 2017 with a double major in Math & Fine Arts, and minors in Physics and Computer Science. I had one year left in my dual degree, BE-granting program at Dartmouth College, and had been invited to subsequently begin PhD work there in Engineering.
I left that program to instead explore open design and innovation around the world as a Watson Fellow, and then enrolled at Yale SOM as a Silver Scholar.
That transition represents a change in thinking— a realization that our biggest challenges aren't material or technical, but permeate larger social, economic, and political systems.
Since then, I've been a Civic Digital Fellow, writing the International Trade Administration's first comprehensive tech strategy brief; a consultant to Brazil's first & largest impact VC fund via Yale's Program on Social Enterprise; a Fellow at the Boston Mayor's innovation and R&D lab; and since Fall '19, a Consultant to the social sector at Wellspring.
I'm always looking for great projects. Get in touch if you think we might work well together ↓
