A Little about me

Across every experience—from creating and testing new compounds in the lab to training for my next classical piano recital—I know I can always count on three constants in my life: my 100% commitment to my vision, my dedication to keeping it real, and my responsibility to help make this world a better place.
In my latest professional venture as a founder and CEO, this is truer than ever before. Following the data around the impact of human interaction, I’m driven to transform the way people connect with their communities. When I'm not working, you can find me searching for a Steinway Grand to play in New York City.
