I am excited to connect with Harvard alumni in Phoenix who are building at the intersection of technology, education, and creative culture. In my professional work, I focus on AI product strategy and mission driven innovation, particularly in learning and community centered spaces. At the same time, I am stepping into a new venture as a Sofar Sounds producer and exploring where I fit within the broader music and storytelling landscape. I would love to connect with individuals working in music, media, film, or cultural strategy who think deeply about how stories move people and shape communities. If you are interested in staying tuned as I build in this space, or open to sharing perspective on carving a path that blends strategy and creativity, I would genuinely value the connection.
