Meet the Judges

I’m an entrepreneur, venture investor, and second-year MBA candidate at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. With entrepreneurial roots in the creative industry, I’ve devoted my career to building businesses and supporting other ambitious founders on their journeys.

I have venture investing experience ranging from pre-seed to growth stage, with expertise in enterprise SaaS, AI/ML, fintech, climate tech, and martech. In my previous chapter, I spearheaded Oxbow’s organic growth into an award-winning digital agency, leading creative and digital strategy for organizations like Chase Bank, TED Talks, Apple, and the ACLU.

On a personal level, I’m a Middlebury College Thoreau Scholar with a BA in Environmental Science and a passion for innovative technologies that slash carbon emissions, extract CO2 from the sky, and fix our planet. I spend my free time volunteering with the OpenAir Collective, playing in the mountains with my dog, Miles, and fumbling blues riffs on my guitar.

Drop me a line if you’d like to connect – I’d love to hear from you!
