I built and led platform, operations, and community at Las Olas Venture Capital (LOVC), expanding LOVC's network, community, and platform across the United States, with a focus on the Eastern Region.

I graduated magna cum laude from Tulane University with majors in Management/Entrepreneurship, Architecture/Design, and Asian Studies/Chinese.

I was a 2023 Venture For America (VFA) Fellow and led/organized the VFA Miami community.

I served as the President of the Tulane University A.B. Freeman School of Business Student Government, previously co-founded a collegiate two-sided service marketplace startup, and gained experience in venture capital, programming, marketing, operations, and business development from my former roles at Techstars, Switch Studio, Ripple Ventures, and Loeb.nyc.

I'm a yoga instructor, practitioner, avid runner, explorer, operator, and designer.

I am passionate about innovative and emerging technologies, value-first angel investing, building and programming, and creating a long-lasting positive global social impact through my work and community activism.

I'm interested in and driven by the following:

community development, growth-hacking, operational excellence, media syndication, organization, product development, digital design, venture creation, incubation, growth, climate and clean technology, health and nutrition optimization, sustainable urban design, artificial intelligence, and architecture.

In the summer of 2023, I conducted research at the Department of the Built Environment, National University of Singapore, focusing on climate change projections and their impacts on building facades, sustainable real estate development, and urban airflow in densely populated cities, utilizing computational fluid dynamics.
