Modern Renaissance (Hu)man
My superpower is decoding people and ideas.
Strategic growth is my professional focus. I'm currently the founding Chief of Staff at an AI-native insurtech startup. I also advise early-stage AI startups across verticals, and invest in high-potential founders. I've previously worked in psychometrics at D. E. Shaw & Co., and in applied molecular biology research at Vanderbilt, UW, & Mount Sinai. I also founded a social enterprise recognized as a global Hult Prize finalist.
On the personal side, I’m studying typography, codifying family recipes, and publishing poems and essays. I co-lead a bookclub in NYC—recent group favorites: Yellowface, Stoner, and The Silent Patient.
