I earned my B.A. in Philosophy from the University of California, Berkeley. I serve on the board of the Los Angeles World Affairs Council Young Professionals and the Los Angeles board of Young Professionals in Foreign Policy. My interests center on emerging technology, national security, foreign affairs, and the role of policy in using next-generation technology to solve domestic and international challenges.I am the Head of Business Development and Strategy at Reditus Space, a space technology company developing orbital reentry vehicles. Reditus serves both commercial and U.S. government customers, supporting in-space manufacturing applications, including pharmaceuticals and semiconductor materials, as well as national security missions. Our vehicles reenter Earth’s atmosphere at speeds exceeding Mach 29, enabling them to serve as high-hypersonic testbeds and support other missions for the U.S. Department of War. Prior to Reditus, I worked across several space and defense technology startups, as well as in venture capital focused on space startup investing. Through these experiences, I have developed a strong network and deep familiarity with the space, defense, and broader startup ecosystem in LA. I increasingly use this experience as a foundation for engaging with questions of national security and foreign policy.
