About

In college, I was always working on film projects on and off campus with friends. It was a passion that I had had since I got a video camera for my birthday in 6th grade. I didn't feel like the normal path was for me - I wanted to make things. Today, I'm the co-founder of Pangea: a platform to help companies connect with find fractional talent. We're seeing a paradigm shift in how companies grow (acceptance of remote work + the rise of AI + fractionalization) and the modes of work are changing with that future. Experienced in entrepreneurship, community building, and innovation.
