I live about 4 miles from one of the largest nuclear facilities in the United States. While the facility played a significant role in developing the atomic bomb, today it is home to some of the most advanced nuclear research, including the fastest computer on earth, called “Frontier.” Many of my friends are retired from the “Lab,” as the facility is affectionately known. They are truly dedicated scientists.
On the other hand, I had a chemistry set when I was about 10 years old. My most notable scientific experiment involved a vial of some liquid catching fire, and I put it out using the back of my mom’s favorite hairbrush. Clearly, a future career in science was not in the cards for me.

I’m a dreamer at heart, proudly born and raised in San Francisco—a city that covers just 49 square miles but was heaven on earth for me. Every corner of The City (as we natives affectionately call it) has been a part of my life. No area ever felt too distant. With wide eyes and an open heart, I’ve always welcomed the world around me. I find joy in creativity, wonder, and discovering new possibilities—whether that’s through international work adventures or dreaming up the next exciting idea. Even though San Francisco was my hometown, my passport has taken me to many amazing places and introduced me to wonderful people, shaping me in countless ways. I carry pieces of these experiences and friendships with me wherever I go. Above all, I treasure my family, friends, and those small, meaningful moments that keep my spirit alive and thriving. I never want my curiosity to fade away.
