About

I'm from Menlo Park, California, where I grew up at the heart of Silicon Valley's innovation culture. I study data science at American University and the London School of Economics because I believe data — and the exponential increase of data in every aspect of life — reveals fundamental truths about how the world works.

Outside of research and policy work, I play soccer and follow the strategic complexity of the game — both on the field and in understanding how systems operate under pressure. I'm a U.S. citizen, security clearance eligible, and believe the future belongs to those who can translate data into decisions.
