I am originally from Michigan (Go Blue)!

I held postdoctoral appointments at Stanford and MIT, received a PhD from Berkeley, and a BA from Harvard.

I have worked at multiple startups in sales & business development roles.

My interests include photography, hiking, & music (played violin in the Harvard Pops orchestra as well as other orchestras, and sang in the Harvard-Radcliffe chorus).
