I hold a second degree black belt in ITF Taekwondo and was technically once 3rd in the world for Bo Staff performance
I greatly enjoy lifting, surfing (when I can), bouldering, and hiking, although I'm not very good at any of these activities
I was ranked nationally in the NCFL PF debate circuit
I originally got into into college as a chem major, and took two college semesters of organic chemistry in high school. Most of my life I wanted to be a doctor, inspired by the many foot and knee surgeries I had growing up. I don't have half of my left ankle due to club foot, and I have no feeling in my entire right knee.
For the summer of 2022, I lived at 819 La Jennifer Way with a bunch of GSB students
In 2020, I co-founded a startup Hyphora in EdTech, where I learned marketing / product
I'm a big fan of spending time on farms, starting with a month on a dairy farm in Southern Virginia in 2018, and most recently a couple of weeks on a donkey refuge in Arizona
I'm an amateur tech house DJ – did my first party at Harvard in September '23, and have since played the NeurIPS Huggingface afterparty, Apple Vision Pro launch party (covered by the SF Standard here), and YC demo day afterparties for each batch since W24! I have a few recorded sets, which you can check out here.
