I'm a lifelong student, eternal optimist and Duke alum originally from the Bay Area, with a passion for investing, healthcare technology and entrepreneurship.



I work as a private equity investor in Chicago and enjoy advising startups as well as helping non-profits expand and fundraise. 



In addition to traveling and taking photos, in my spare time I enjoy being a running guide through Achilles International and mentoring through Minds Matter and Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship.
