About

I believe that technology has the potential to eliminate the tedium and busywork from our daily tasks, allowing us to focus our time and energy on finding creative solutions to our most pressing problems. I am working towards this as an MBA and Artificial Intelligence candidate at Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management. Previously, I was a manager at PwC in the Data & Technology team working to create solutions to automate complex calculations and scale them to whole populations, delivering quality at scale.
