“People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I don't think that's what we're really seeking. I think that what we're seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive."
- Joseph Campbell

About Me
About Me
I coach ambitious professionals at inflection points, often those considering quitting their jobs or seeking more than the conventional path. My work helps people build the self-awareness and confidence to make meaningful choices in both career and life. I also write More Human Possible, my blog exploring what it means to live and work with more humanity.
Before coaching, I spent several years in product management at Uber and Afterpay (acquired by Block), where I focused on marketplaces, B2B2C products, risk, and machine learning. I later helped start Downshift, an executive coaching company for founders and executives in transition, before choosing to focus fully on my own practice.
Along the way I created side projects including a climate newsletter (Build in Climate), a podcast (On the Rise), and a subletting platform (The Subletter).
After six years of living without a lease, I moved to Palo Alto in June 2025, where I plan to be based for the next chapter while still embracing seasonal rhythms. Outside of work I'm an avid skier, surfer, hiker, and photographer, and I find joy in cooking, reading, meditation, time in nature, and yoga.

My Transition
My Transition
As a newly promoted Senior Product Manager at the age of 25, I was making more money than I knew what to do with and on an accelerated trajectory towards conventional success. I found myself living a seemingly idyllic life in Hawaii.
On the surface, I had collected prestigious degrees, jobs, and awards, and also created a healthy lifestyle of surfing, yoga, and time in nature, but underneath I grappled with a deeper sense of disconnection and uncertainty. I was completely lost in life.
For over 10 months, I navigated the inner turmoil of feeling trapped in a career that no longer fulfilled me. Fueled by a fear of financial instability and the loss of identity tied to my achievements, I reached a peaceful and pivotal moment where leaving felt like it was my only viable option.
In 2023, I embarked on a transformative sabbatical filled with ups and downs. Through this journey of exploration and experimentation, I discovered a newfound sense of purpose and clarity.
In early 2024, I began coaching a small handful of friends and random strangers on the internet who reached out. Since then, I've helped founders, executives, creatives, and leaders through transition and into deeper alignment with their lasting ambitions.

My Timeline
My Timeline
For most of my life, I was a world class hoop jumper, chasing one goal after another and continuously adding badges of achievement to my resumé and identity:
🐻 EECS at UC Berkeley
🚗 Associate Product Manager at Uber
💻 Kleiner Perkins Product Fellow
💳 Early PM at Afterpay and promoted to Senior PM in less than a year
🌎 Explored co-founding a climate tech startup, but hesitated because it didn't feel fully aligned
Now, as a coach, I show up with my warm nurturing presence, while also integrating the ambitious drive that I’ve always had.
