How I Got Here

Zero Roadmap, Full Send

People Over Platforms

Build What Actually Matters

That curiosity pushed me to ship everything from a community app to a 3D-printed chocolate startup, an e-commerce coffee brand, and a government policy role. Most fizzled fast. Best MBA money can't buy.

But a few stuck.

My first successful business: Numo. Numo is a bricks and mortar retail store. I hired and led a 25-person team in an industry with zero playbook, while still in my early 20s.

My second startup: Workit.

Workit was a career community for tech talent. Launched three cohort-based programs with 87% CSAT.

Built mentor roster from Stripe, Netflix, GitLab.

I then decided to work at Tomorrow University, where I shipped features like an AI tutor to help personalize the learning journeys of our students.

Each project sharpened my mission: unlock human potential at the crossroads of product, growth, EdTech, and community. Fulfilled humans build better futures, my job is to give them the tools.


When I’m not shipping, you’ll find me perfecting salsa and bachata footwork or tinkering with AI hacks that make everyday life smoother.
