Made in New York. Assembled in Europe. Sold in Washington, DC.

I am a mathematician by training currently working on improving mental health outcomes in the behavioral health populations. I also am the co-founder of a company, Altgage. The mission is to develop financial instruments that empower people with a more flexible and affordable way to own a home. Previously, I was serving in the Biden Administration working on 1) improving and expanding mental health services for Medicaid beneficiaries and 2) the Justice40 initiative.

I am an avid Crossfit athlete, cook, and marathoner who cares deeply about social inequality and health disparities. I was raised in a very liberal household by parents who espoused leadership, independence, empathy, and service to others before yourself. I care deeply about reducing inequities in educational attainment, public health, and expanding generational wealth in communities most affected by redlining. My past graduate and... more professional work contributed to machine learning-driven solutions for child pornography detection and human trafficking detection. This enabled - and to this day enables - nation-states and national agencies to bolster their efforts in preventing such nefarious behaviors.

I actively contribute to several projects on global epidemic surveillance, helped start the Clean Slate Initiative in DC (now it is a national initiative), co-founded and taught in a public charter school's high school in my first life.

I have lived in China and several European countries and am fluent in French and Spanish. I read expansively and enjoy deep discussions scouring current events, economics, and public policy (my formative professional years during my 20s in Washington DC precipitated this).

Finally, I enjoy dancing and playing the guitar. I deeply value the arts and music and their impact on society. I am looking for someone - who grew up in the United States or Canada - who embodies a growth mindset and someone who shares similar goals in terms of having a fulfilling career while also making time to travel, engage with the community we live in, and develop their cultural competence.
