Speaker's Profile

I studied the effects of stress and meditation in my Master's at Stanford after several years as an engineering PM at Microsoft, where I worked on SQL Server & data tools and Windows. I also took a Business PM role on Microsoft's Corporate Social Responsibility team, developing strategic initiatives for youth around the world to learn technical skills, entrepreneurship, and computer science.

I played basketball in college and still play, along with a lot of trail running! I care most about: people's overall well-being, happiness, and contentment; high school education; diversity in life; and really delicious ice cream.
