We all have special talents and passions in life. Mine include learning the latest in technology and applying this knowledge and creativity to design innovative products that improve the day-to-day lives of people. I am fortunate to be using these skills in my current position as Co-founder and VP of Product Management at Aira, a dynamic startup based in San Diego that is quickly emerging as a leader in developing personalized, user-friendly assistive technology and services for blind and low-vision individuals.

A dedicated software engineer, I graduated in 2013 from UC San Diego with a degree in Computer Science and Business. My business education training, which I received through the Rady School of Management at UC San Diego and the HBX Program at Harvard Business School, has been highly important in teaching me the skills necessary to help launch and manage a promising high-tech startup like Aira.
