Founder

Started my career off in corporate law and quickly realized that it wasn't a long-term fit! Did a big pivot into tech, working an early-stage startup as a generalist. Then decided it was time to follow my entrepreneurial dreams. Currently building The Commons, a social learning platform that brings mentorship, education and community together to accelerate careers. Currently focused on building a community of early-mid career professionals in strategic business roles at amazing tech companies. We started in 2020 and have 1,000+ alumni, mentors and mentees from all over the world.
