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 dabbled in film, fashion, music & comedy.

I stayed in school at The University of Texas & Harvard Business School.

WRITING

I write weekly on my blog, Working Theorys. I share original ideas on life, art, & business — often through the lens of tech. I occasionally collaborate with other writers & publications. I also run a private writing group called Writers Block.

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, on a part-time basis.

As an FYI, I'm not able to reply to every email & prefer to communicate async first instead of intro calls.

P.S. I know this font is a touch hard to read, but I like it anyway. I change it up often :)
