"I’m drawn to the earliest stages, when there’s no playbook, just a team, a vision, and a thousand open questions. I try to be the kind of partner who shows up and helps figure it out.”
My career to date has given me the opportunity to build perspective across multiple environments within the technology landscape.
After grad school, I began working in a university research environment, where I got a front-row seat to cutting-edge work in robotics, medicine, and computer vision. That early exposure to breakthrough innovation lit a fire in me—and set my career’s North Star: backing the founders pushing the world forward.
From there, I joined MicroVentures, a fintech startup making private market investing more accessible. It was my first hands-on experience in the startup trenches and where I sharpened my operating skills and developed a fascination with venture.
For the past three years, I’ve been lucky to work closely with seed-stage founders across vertical SaaS, commerce, GTM tech, enterprise hardware, and more. These partnerships have only deepened my appreciation for early-stage building and the relentless founders who make it happen. I'm excited to continue that work at Bonfire.
I hold both undergraduate and graduate degrees from Duke University (Go Blue Devils!) and now call Los Angeles home. Outside of work, you’ll find me staying active, reading, or cheering on my favorite teams. Earlier in life, I was a competitive tennis player—with a few wins over opponents who went on to become Grand Slam champions and Olympic medalists.
