Born and raised in Southern California, I grew up immersed in a Lakers-loving community and a home filled with great music. These pillars of family, basketball, and music have profoundly shaped my life and experiences. I hold a Master of Science in Entrepreneurship and Innovation from the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business, where I was also a member of the Trojans Men’s Basketball Team. Previously, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, with concentrations in Finance and Management. At Penn, I proudly served as a four-year member and two-time captain of the Quakers Men’s Basketball Team.
