Quick Bio
I bring a unique combination of skills and experiences to my mission. I grew up in my parents' bookstore in Houston, Texas and now I help them run it. I studied to be an economist in both undergraduate and graduate school. I lived in China for three years between undergraduate and graduate school. I taught and performed improv comedy for almost ten years, though I’m less active now. I have been a clinical professor teaching students how to be better consultants and coaching small business owners since 2020.
