I leverage my experiences in India, at Final Mile Consulting, and at Tuck to develop innovative solutions that improve how organizations engage with their customers to help them make critical life decisions when it comes to finances, health, and safety - especially underserved communities.

This is the core of who I am as a person and these are my professional experiences; the skills I bring are a combination of the two.

I am an avid soccer player and have used the sport to build relationships and find community over the course of my travels. While working in India I acted in the Bollywood film, Jaanisaar, playing the role of a the role of a British Lieutenant in the period drama about India’s First War of Independence in 1857. This gave me a deeper appreciation for the city and country in which I was working, and offered an exciting glimpse into the performing arts. I have a weakness for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds, and am an aspiring Chopped contestant.  

I was previously a strategy consultant for a or the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation project to improve maternal and newborn health in Uttar Pradesh, India — the country’s most populous state. Then I joined Final Mile Consulting, the strategy and design firm that helps clients understand how and why people make decisions in consumer and social contexts. As the engagement lead for our US Financial Services practice I worked with and taught industry leaders the value of behavioral science, and delivered empathetic, human-centered solutions.

Recently ccompleted my MBA at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College with a focus on growth strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship. I’ve had the opportunity to help lead a team in the Kellogg Product Design Challenge sponsored by Amazon, where we were selected as finalists. 

The diversity of my interests and experiences has allowed me to deliver innovative solutions, make connections, and cultivate relationships.
