Currently
a Point
Foundation Scholar in my second year at UC Berkeley's Haas
School of Business, I am pursuing an MBA with a focus on nonprofits,
marketing, and entrepreneurship. I
am a Vice President of Q@Haas, the school's LGBT student association.
I enjoy travelling and watching movies, and live in San Francisco
with my fiancee (whom I can now legally marry!), an independent
filmmaker.

Prior
to business school, I worked at Out
& Equal Workplace Advocates, a national LGBT nonprofit

500 companies on the business case for LGBT diversity and inclusion.
In honor of my work as a bi community advocate, in 2007 I received
the Dr. Maggi Rubenstein Leadership Award!
