Impact

“None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody… bent down and helped us pick up our boots.” – Thurgood Marshall

It’s important to remember that everybody starts somewhere. Through this fellowship, I want to embody the “give first” mentality in Colorado’s startup community. I believe that by working across disciplines, we can help address the divergence between entrepreneurial talents and the lack of funding or advisory services needed to support them.

Career Objective

I intend to become a lawyer specializing in entrepreneurial law—helping businesses with entity formation, financing, stock options, exit, etc.

Strengths

  • Connecting with people on a personal level
  • Assisting those in need and lending a sympathetic ear
  • Working with others to adapt to changing circumstances

Fun fact

  • I love all animals small and large. I currently live in Boulder with my two chinchillas, fish, and an aussi-corgi named Momo, which means dumpling in Nepalese and peach in Japanese. The name is also homage to my favorite character from a childhood classic, Avatar: The Last Airbender.
