BIO
I recently finished my MBA at Harvard Business School in May 2020. Prior to HBS, I was a Product Manager at General Assembly for four years where I built a new product line that became a key reason for the company's eventual acquisition. While at HBS, I interned at Strava working on pricing and monetization. I began my career in consulting and transitioned into tech while working at Techstars.
