It doesn't take much to stand out. But today, most marketing blends into the background of our lives: It's safe. It's self-centered. And it sucks. That's where I come in. I do marketing that demands attention and provides real value — by creating content that people actually enjoy. I believe that companies win when they build a community of loyal fans. If you're ready to find your fans, I'd love to help.

I am a Master's student and Clarendon Scholar at the University of Oxford for the 2024-2025 school year, pursuing a MSc in Social Science of the Internet at the Oxford Internet Institute (submitted thesis: graduation November 2025). My research focuses on the evolution of ideology in Silicon Valley and the future of the AGI race. Prior to Oxford, I spent two years as a (Senior) Business Analyst with McKinsey & Company in Washington D.C., focusing mainly on strategic implementations of artificial intelligence across a broad swathe of clients, considering differential value while mitigating risks. I received a B.S.H. in Symbolic Systems (Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence) from Stanford University in 2022, and my undergraduate research (now published) demonstrated how an AI-moderated platform can politically depolarize individuals. I also hold a minor in Poetry.
