At my core, I have always been naturally curious about human behavior. It fuels my passion towards understanding the needs people have and doing my best to address those needs through a high-impact product. It’s now my goal to help people live a better experience. 

In my spare time, I enjoy playing volleyball, traveling, and reading Medium articles.
