about.

I trained in behavioral science, studying how people make decisions, before I left my Ph.D. program to build. Before product, I ran operations and fundraising for mission-driven organizations, where I learned to run on tight budgets and be accountable for revenue.

I went through Primary Venture Partners' NYC founder fellowship, and as a Venture Partner at Republic I've evaluated 50+ startups for product-market fit. Seeing companies from the investor's side shapes how I decide what to build.

At Myndful, 150+ student interviews showed me I was building the wrong product. I rebuilt it around what students needed, and it reached 25,000+ users across 17 countries.

I built Lumo, a decision tool for product managers, solo on the Claude API.

I'm the senior product manager for fundraising, MoveOn's revenue product area, where 8M+ members give $30M+ a year. Working with our fundraising team, engineering, analytics, and design, we moved our donation pages to a new platform after the 2024 election.

I wrote the requirements for the donor and member portals we launched in our custom CRM. And I'm the PM on a series of homepage donation tests, varying where and how we ask, that drove a five-year high in new donor acquisition.

I teach product and go-to-market to early-stage founders at the Watson Institute, in a fellowship that supports 2,400+ entrepreneurs a year.
