What’s the best advice you’ve ever received? 

“Don’t look at how far you have to go; look at how far you have come.” I cannot remember where I first read this, but I recall this quote whenever I’m stressed while making a big decision about the future. It always brings me back to the present.

What’s something few people know about you? 

I love the ocean and was an ocean lifeguard for years throughout college.

What excites you about the next decade?

I am excited to see how the world of food and AgTech evolves over the next 10 years. I can envision a world where humans do not rely on animals as their main source of protein, where our climate and food system is not on the brink of disaster, and where food is used as a source of medicine and wellness. I am excited to find and support the companies that are building this future.
