Founders create businesses to change the world; not manage spreadsheets. At Carta, I help companies, investors, and employees manage equity, ownership, and fund operations across the private markets. I hold a degree in International Business and Japanese/ APAC from San Diego State University. My business emphasis is in Management/ Marketing, and I minored in Philosophy. I am passionate about diplomacy and intercultural exchanges. I greatly value challenging myself, whether that be in new environments (abroad or otherwise), or thinking critically about situations. I've had the opportunity to travel via unique opportunities from farming in Hawaii to bouncing around Europe while studying at a top finance university in Italy, Universita Bocconi. These experiences have fostered my tenacity as well as adaptivity, preparing me to thrive in diverse, fast-moving environments.
