I'm based in the San Francisco Bay Area. After two years teaching with Teach For America, I'm moving into sales development. Outside of work I'm a content creator, filmmaker, and professional and performing musician, and I run my own private music lesson business.

What I enjoy most in teaching and in sales is the same: understanding what someone is struggling with and finding a solution that actually works.

Bio

I'm a former Teach For America educator who fell in love with teaching, and I'm moving into sales development, where the same skills matter most: listening first, explaining clearly and earning trust.

I spent two years teaching with Teach For America in my hometown, in the same community I grew up in. That classroom is where I fell in love with education: seeing a student finally get it, working through the hard days, and knowing the work mattered.

But I kept running into the same limit. I could change things for the students in my room, and I wanted my impact to reach further. Sales development is how I want to get there: starting the conversations that help organizations find the tools that actually work for their people.

On my own time, I'm usually designing products, producing music, shooting photo and video, or teaching jazz piano and music production.
