ABOUT
My recent work has been as a startup founder, operator, and angel investor.
Before Slang, I was the first business hire & first Head of Community at Clubhouse.
Prior to that, I did a stint as an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Harvard.
I’m an M.D. (I was an Emergency Medicine resident physician at Harvard / Mass General.)
I founded a women's health tech startup while in medical school.
I love the arts. I've been writing in some form for 10+ years. I’ve dabbled in film, fashion, music & comedy.
I stayed in school at The University of Texas & Harvard Business School, where I was a Baker Scholar.

REACH ME
Reach out about my work, writing, or interesting ways to work together.
I enjoy helping builders, writers, and creators with special projects or as an advisor.
As an FYI, I'm not able to reply to every email & prefer to communicate async first instead of intro calls.
