I'm excited to share that I’ve joined USV's investment team as an analyst. Before this, I was a product manager at an early-stage women's healthcare company, where I helped scale the care delivery platform to support over 100k patients and 500 providers. 

Venture has been an interest of mine for a long time. In college, I consulted for Google Ventures’ portfolio across user research, design, and product development, getting a first taste of how companies test early ideas, gather insights from users and data, and pivot when necessary. And more recently, I supported Adverb Ventures across sourcing, programming, and portfolio operations, which further cemented my passion for helping founders navigate the earliest stages of building.

At Stanford, I studied Product Design and Art History, a pairing which empowered me to draw connections across ancient and modern examples of how something was made and why, how it was used, and what that reveals about humanity. Product design taught me to work backward from a pain point to form a solution; art history taught me to examine the details and to put things in context to gain clarity before rushing to a conclusion. That skillset—leading with curiosity to form conviction—is part of why USV's thesis-driven approach resonated with me: it embodies a discipline for having a point of view without mistaking it for certainty. 

At USV, I'm looking forward to working with entrepreneurs building for the agentic age. A question I’m eager to dive into is: as more of the physical world becomes measurable (bodies, infrastructure, environments) how does that data actually turn into tangible, real world applications we can leverage? I'm also fascinated by the agentic stack forming underneath all of this, not just as a technical shift but as an organizational one: how technology is deployed, how organizations structure teams when more is done by agents, and even how we run our own personal lives. I'll be spending time across consumer and enterprise applications, healthcare, bioengineering, and physical AI, chasing that thread wherever it leads.

Outside of work, I love engaging with New York through running, going to museums (especially the Met), and working through my restaurant hit list. I also love to trade book recs—I most recently read: Megan O’Grady’s How it Feels to be Alive.
