About me

I’m a sixth generation Floridian with deep roots in the Sarasota-Bradenton area, where I first discovered my passion for science and community building. My journey so far has spanned from academic studies at New College of Florida and Carnegie Mellon University, to engaging with global leaders in Washington, D.C. and the Indo-Pacific. Whether through research, business, or civic engagement, I am committed to supporting and inspiring the next-generation of scientists and leaders, and creating a better future for our society.
