Over the last decade my career has focused on helping creators discover and express themselves using the internet.
Through my work at companies like Kickstarter, Instagram, and Canopy I’ve seen firsthand the value of niche and passionate communities.
After interning at companies like Foursquare and Etsy, I began my career at Kickstarter as creators were beginning to harness the true scope of the internet.
While at Instagram, I worked on features across all major parts of the app. I am most proud of my work around features like Mute and Close Friends, highlighting tools for close connection as the platform experienced rapid growth and evolution.
I joined a small startup called Canopy in 2018 focused on making powerful recommendations without the cost of your personal privacy. Canopy built an app, Tonic, that recommended a handful of things from across the internet each day. In 2020, Canopy was acquired by CNN.
I relocated to Paris in at the end of 2020 to join Zenly (part of Snap, Inc.) and lead a product team focused on expanding the features behind the map app.
During my studies at Boston University, I was part of the founding team at Rough Draft Ventures. RDV invests in students who want to turn ideas into real startups.
While I’m currently taking a break from full-time work while I pursue yoga, I remain always open for new connections.
