At 18, I enrolled at Virginia Tech to study finance.

I joined the US' only student-run commodity fund ($1.3M AUM), COINS, and the VT consulting group (fully on track to become a finance bro)

Yet, somewhere along the way, that path stopped exciting me.

My obsession with building and creating online took over.

In 2 years, I:

• Scaled a solo content studio from $0 → $200k

• Grew an audience to 227k+

• Worked with 200+ brands (i.e. Amazon, Grubhub, Kalshi, Perplexity, Best Buy, etc.)

I also led growth for multiple VC-backed startups:

• Swsh

• Verci

• Turbo AI

At 20, I discovered the world of product and became fascinated by how simple, thoughtful design can solve real human problems.

Now, I’m leaving Virginia Tech to study human–computer interaction at New York University as a junior transfer student.

I’m also building Koino — a modern creator workspace designed to make the idea → publish flow radically faster for the $250B creator economy.
