I was born and raised in Ohio, but always knew that I would end up in New York — didn’t know how it would happen, but eventually came through the mechanism of attending Columbia University and trying out 2 years in the engineering school, before eventually transferring to their sociology program (one of the best decisions I’ve ever made). My technical background, work experience at Calvin Klein, JUV Consulting, and SiriusXM, and in-between stints working in the NYC hospitality scene, led me to my current position in Product Ops @ Hinge.

I have plans to return to school, whether that be to further my interest in tech policy and ethical AI practices, or to chase the dream of being a sociology professor and earning my PhD in the field. For now, I am exploring my interest in-house working in tech and have gained valuable experience in doing so.

In my free time, I play volleyball, bartend, and curate playlists that no one but my cat and I will ever hear.
