Bio

Born and raised in Berkeley, CA, I spent the majority of my life in the Bay Area—attending Lick-Wilmerding High School in SF before going to Stanford, then Berkeley, to complete my degrees in mechanical engineering. I have passion for utilizing the food system to address climate change, and was fortunate to spend 5 years developing and scaling textured proteins as the first R&D engineer at Beyond Meat. I hope to make an everlasting climate impact with Momentum.
