Bio
About Me
Raised in Southern California by immigrant parents, I grew up playing everything: from soccer, swimming, and more, before finding my deepest commitment in jiu-jitsu, where I became a multiple-time national and world champion at the youth level.
I transitioned to wrestling in high school, where I was a California Freestyle State Champion and NHSCA Senior Nationals All-American, before being recruited to Cornell University. During my time with the program, the team has finished 18th, 7th, 3rd, and 2nd at the NCAA Championships.
In my first collegiate season, I received the Graham Morin 11th Man Award, given to the nonstarter who had the greatest contributions to the team.
At Cornell, I study Applied Economics and Management at the Dyson School, concentrating in Finance and Business Analytics. Beyond the mat, my experiences in venture capital, global finance, and investment banking have shaped a genuine passion for building.
I am currently working at the intersection of finance and AI, supporting corporate development at HdL Companies while driving growth for Fit AI, an AI-powered fitness app. I am actively seeking opportunities to build at the frontier of AI, whether founding something, joining a high-conviction early-stage team, or shipping products that create meaningful impact.
