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, as well as Cerebral Valley's e/acc holiday party, Apple Vision Pro launch party (covered by the SF Standard here), and YC demo day afterparties for each batch since W24!
