About

Strategy consultant at the intersection of deep tech, AI, and industrial policy.

I'm an MBA candidate focused on strategy consulting at the intersection of deep tech, artificial intelligence, and industrial policy. My work bridges the gap between cutting-edge technology and the strategic, policy, and investment frameworks that bring it to market.

I thrive in cross-functional teams tackling complex, ambiguous problems—whether that's mapping the downstream effects of the CHIPS Act on private markets, advising a Fortune 500 semiconductor company on the future of robotics, or helping a startup craft a winning go-to-market strategy.
