Currently building a bill of materials for the human body, and an Intelligence Officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve (Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron 8; Farragut Technical Intelligence Center; Office of Naval Intelligence).
Twice-elected member of the school board in Cambridge, MA, which has long had nice progressive education policies, oodles of money – and no demonstrable progress in ensuring every kid can read and understand math at grade level. So the City papered over the problem by removing advanced courses, and calling it a day (“look – everyone’s getting an A!”) – a habit we’re working on reversing.
Before that, Chief Technology Officer at Omega Funds, a Boston based biotech venture capital firm, and Vice President of Data Engineering, Design and Algorithms at Symbotic, a robotics company now valued at roughly $26 billion, where our team led the design of the systems that orchestrate thousands of autonomous robots inside Fortune 100 supply chains, and helped carry the company to its Nasdaq listing ($SYM). From 2019 until 2025, served on the Advisory Board of the Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (Vice Chair): some 850 scientists and engineers who, among other things, contributed to the Parker Solar Probe, the fastest object humans have ever made, traveling at some 430,000 miles per hour, and the man-made object that has traveled closest to the Sun. Youngest ever member elected to a Smithsonian advisory board.
Born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. Now in Cambridge, MA, with my husband and four kids.
