About
I am deeply passionate about the integration of technological innovation, business, and government to address global public policy issues. At Stanford, I have taken advanced courses across a wide variety of disciplines such as economics, political science, statistics, computer science, and ethics. On campus, I am an editor for the Stanford Journal of International Affairs, the Director of Finance for the TAMID Group, and a TA for an ethics class.
In addition to my academic and work interests, I am a PADI-Certified Divemaster and avid traveler. My personal interests are also diverse: I love The Beatles, great food, great books, and discussing global political issues. In my spare time, I love to tinker with the latest technology to see where this wave of AI innovation can take me.
