Driven medical student and former Navy SEAL with leadership experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated medical student at UCLA, currently in my clinical years, where I am honing my skills in patient care and medical knowledge. My journey has been shaped by a unique blend of experiences, from serving as a Navy SEAL Officer to leading a mission-driven software company. My academic achievements, including graduating first in my class from the United States Naval Academy with a dual degree in Quantitative Economics and Chinese Language, reflect my commitment to excellence.
As the CEO of Island Search, I successfully raised financing and led business development efforts to acquire and operate a software business, demonstrating my ability to navigate complex challenges and drive growth. My tenure as an Analyst at Vista Equity Partners involved managing software company acquisitions, where I developed strong analytical and financial modeling skills. I have a proven track record of working with top-tier advisors and presenting investment opportunities to committees, showcasing my strategic thinking and communication abilities.
My leadership experience as a Navy SEAL Officer has equipped me with the skills to lead cross-functional teams in high-stakes environments. I have a passion for innovation, having initiated technology advancements within the Naval Special Warfare Command. I am eager to leverage my diverse background and skills in a challenging medical career, where I can make a meaningful impact on patient lives.
