Early Career

My sister works for a wedding flower VC-backed startup called Poppy, and I saw firsthand the passion that she and her team have for making the process of sourcing and buying wedding flowers easier, more affordable, and honestly, cooler. I knew I wanted to be part of a team that enables teams of creators to keep creating - and that’s what I get to do at Edison.

Proudest Moment

My proudest moment thus far has been putting myself through graduate school.

EDISON ORIGIN STORY

During business school, I worked with an early stage, fintech-focused venture fund. It was through the amazing manager I had there that I was connected to Edison and their search for an Associate.
