About

A graduate of Brown University with a Bachelor's Degree in History, I am a dynamic entrepreneur and community builder. As a founding member of the NYC Founders Club, I curate exclusive events for New York City's top founders. I co-founded Pangea.app, a platform for hiring fractional creative talent, which has grown to a community of 70,000 creatives and is backed by prestigious investors including Y Combinator and Idea Fund. My experience includes serving on the advisory board of RIHub, a state-backed non-profit supporting Rhode Island's startup ecosystem. I have also delivered a TEDx talk on applying Stoic virtues to entrepreneurship and participated in Y Combinator's highly selective Winter '21 Batch. My educational journey began at Rye Country Day School and included a transformative experience at NOLS.
