Born in the US Virgin Islands, I grew up in Northern California and attended Stanford University for college and graduate school. I stayed at Stanford for general surgery residency, moved to LA for a surgical critical care fellowship, and from there I joined an early-stage tech company called Suki AI. At Suki, I led product management as we navigated the 0-to-1 phase with some success. Today I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with my four children. I work as a trauma surgeon and start-up advisor.
