About Me:

Poverty alleviation and advocating for the marginalized is central to me — In part because I grew up in a trailer park, and have an academic disability. I have spent the last 4 years in international development research. Outside of work, I support refugee resettlement efforts in my city, and am a sailing guide for disabled sailors.

Big Life Wins:

Post MBA Goal:

With my international development background, I am interested in impact investing or social venture capital. I also have an interest in ag-tech and sustainable farming (ex. hydroponics).
