Modern Renaissance (Hu)man
My superpower is decoding people and ideas.
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 hedge fund, D. E. Shaw & Co. and conducted applied molecular biology research at Vanderbilt, UW, & Mount Sinai. I also co-founded a Hult Prize Global Top 30 social enterprise.
When I have spare time, I study typography, codify family recipes, and try to keep up with what's going on in biotech. I also co-lead a bookclub in NYC—we hit our 2-year anniversary in September 2025 and club favorites include Yellowface, Stoner, and The Silent Patient.
