Summary
From scaling a six-figure startup in high school to leading projects at the intersection of AI, automation, and venture capital, I’ve spent the past several years building and investing in the future. At UC Santa Cruz, I helped develop the entrepreneurial program while launching new ventures of my own including CloseOx, an automation agency for real estate professionals, and Loop Interview, where I’m pioneering the future of hiring with AI voice agents.
I also co-founded YN Capital, a student-led venture initiative investing in agentic AI startups, and lead marketing and sales for Red Bull Santa Cruz, connecting brand, culture, and community. Between my ventures, consulting work, and time spent in Silicon Valley’s startup ecosystem, I’m focused on being at the forefront of how AI transforms business, hiring, and investing.
I was built to pioneer the future of business and AI: With an undeniable bias to action.
