What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in product development where I can innovate and grow.

I'm a dedicated and innovative data science student at New York University, set to graduate in May 2028. My journey has been marked by a strong commitment to leveraging data for impactful decision-making. As a Campus Strategist at Perplexity, I successfully launched a marketing campaign that boosted student engagement by 20%, showcasing my ability to drive user growth through strategic initiatives.

In addition to my role at Perplexity, I co-founded Propel.Earth, where I developed a C++ MVP that significantly improved the speed of connections between founders and investors. My experience in user research and community building has allowed me to create a network of over 150 vetted founders, achieving impressive user satisfaction rates. I am passionate about using data to inform product development and enhance user experiences, as demonstrated through my work with the NYU Product Management Club.
