Bio
I’m a physician, builder, and investor based in New York.
By training, I’m an anesthesiologist with an MPH from Harvard — currently practicing at Metropolitan Hospital and teaching in academic settings. I’ve helped lead clinical innovation initiatives in perioperative care and mental health, and I’m passionate about bringing systems thinking to healthcare.
I work closely with founders as an advisor, and I invest in mission-driven teams, especially at the intersection of health, data, and infrastructure.
