About Me

I graduated from Rice University back in 2013 Summa Cum Laude; Phi Beta Kappa, majoring in Evolutionary Biology and the Study of Women, Gender and Sexuality (SWGS). I also have a Masters in Public Administration (MPA) from Columbia University. I started contributing on Wikipedia after one of my professor Dr. Joan Strassmann introduced me to Wikipedia Contributing as part of an assignment in her Animal Behaviour class.

Presently, I am a Venture Build with Wavemaker Impact, a Singapore-headquartered Climate-tech Venture Capital Firm. Prior to joining Wavemaker, I spent 10 years with the Singapore Economic Development Board and the World Economic Forum, building impactful businesses and startups. During my free time, I spend my time searching for vintage watches, playing golf with my wife, and spending time with friends.
