Bio

I am an ex-management consultant currently studying engineering, design and business at MIT. I enjoy working at the intersection of these disciplines to tackle complex challenges. I am particularly interested in innovation as a means to promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth.

I believe that the future of work is interdisciplinary. Having been exposed to multiple industries early in my career, I was motivated to expand both my technical and design skillsets to apply an integrated approach to problem solving.

Some of my recent projects include running a startup accelerator, researching inclusive innovation policy, developing a lab-to-market strategy for a Physics Lab and a voice UI for the visually impaired.

Outside of work and school, I enjoy experimenting with coding, reading, scubadiving and hitting the field with my rugby teammates.
