About
I’m a final year student at Minerva Schools at KGI and I care about taking a human-centred approach to entrepreneurship in order to build more thoughtful products, services, and organisations.

The intersection of strategy, research, and design is what fascinates me.

Over the last four years I’ve had the opportunity to live and study in San Francisco, Seoul, Hyderabad, Berlin, Buenos Aires, London, and Taipei.
