Born and raised
Fun fact: I went to the same high school as Dario and Daniela Amodei. Still call this city home. Guess I haven’t found the keys to my handcuffs yet.

B.A. Linguistics and Computer Science
The food here was really good. I miss the beaches.

Research
I held 2 part-time research roles while in undergrad. The first one was with the Trustworthy AI Lab in the Dept. of Statistics and Data Science where I was tasked with testing cutting-edge synthetic data generation models. The next one was as a research assistant with the Dept. of Head & Neck Surgery. I got to analyze research data from surgical experiments. And they gave me a white lab coat to wear.

Analyst
This was my first job out of college, worked on deployment strategy for enterprise accounts. Learned a bunch of stuff about identity and security, but more importantly, I learned how to make a variety of lattes and drinks using the barista-grade espresso machine they had at HQ.

Business Operations & GTM
Wanted something faster paced, so I joined a seed-stage startup as a founding hire, running enterprise deals and scaling operations from 0 to 1. We built an AI-native ABM platform and landed some great logos like Chainguard, Zapier, Abridge, and Drata. We were eventually acquired by Clarify.ai (see next slide)
