Personal Life
When I'm not immersed in the world of product and tech, I'm often found with a pencil in hand. I'm passionate about sketching, particularly characters inspired by comic books and manga. This hobby has grown into something more, with my Instagram art account amassing over 20,000 followers in just two years.
My love for entertainment - animated films, TV shows, and music - fuels my creativity in both my personal art and professional work. I find that sketching not only serves as a medium for self-expression but also enhances my cognitive processes, helping me articulate ideas more effectively in all aspects of my life.
I'm deeply passionate about first principles thinking. This approach to problem-solving and innovation resonates with me, as it aligns with my desire to understand the core of issues and create novel solutions. I often apply this mindset to both my professional projects and personal creative endeavors.

Professional Life
Currently, I'm interning at Hazard Control Technologies, Inc., working at the intersection of Product, Marketing, and Growth. I collect and analyze data from various marketing channels, assist in project management, and contribute to interdepartmental collaboration.
Previously, I externed at Expedia Group in Competitive Intelligence. There, I dove deep into digital advertising trends and competitor research in the travel technology sector, providing strategic recommendations to executive stakeholders.
My journey into the tech world began unexpectedly with The Excelsior Podcast, which I created and hosted. It reached listeners across 31 countries and ranked in the top 10% of globally shared podcasts on Spotify. This experience opened doors to collaborations with industry experts from companies like Meta, Apple, and Google, giving me invaluable insights into Product, Marketing, and UX best practices.
