Grew up in a quiet corner of San Francisco with pet chickens in the backyard. That early proximity to something unlike Silicon Valley's origins set the tone for how I view the world. A few years back, I found my way into the world of startups. I've worked in food marketing, dabbled in growth for a fertility clinic, and now I'm heads down tinkering at Pangram Labs.

I spend a lot of time thinking about declining literacy, value systems, and how they intersect with local policy and critical thinking. I volunteer at BBB, helping incarcerated folks in NY state receive books.
