I wore many different hats before J2 Ventures, all with the goal of building tech-based businesses. I started my career at the Boston Consulting Group, working with Fortune 500 executives in healthcare, financial services and industrials. After that, I had the opportunity to build a health tech startup called Backpack Health as Chief Operating Officer, where I hired and managed software, product, and operations teams. Most recently, I built large solar and, occasionally, wind projects all over the U.S. with D.E. Shaw Renewable Investments.
I have a Ph.D. from Columbia University, where I developed AI tools to analyze biochemistry experiments, supported by the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. I have a B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania, where I studied biochemistry and was a Goldwater Scholar.
