Princeton University

B.S.E. in Chemical and Biological Engineering. Battery research in Dan Steingart's lab, campus leadership, and internships that made energy feel like a business problem, not just a science problem.

Princeton is where the core threads of my career first came together: engineering, energy, writing, and leadership. I studied chemical and biological engineering, with certificates in finance and environmental studies.

2013 - 2016

Princeton's first national marketing conference Grew Advertise This from 350 to 650 members, cut attrition from 60% to 18%, and raised $16K for a conference with 20+ execs and 300+ students.

2012 - 2016

Published research in Energy & Environmental Science An energy thesis that started with TerraCycle and Bloom Energy in Tokyo, ran through U.S. and Japanese energy policy, and ended with a zinc-bromine battery paper.
