Think in systems. Feel in stories.

About

I've always been drawn to the edges of what I know. The best ideas I've had came from paying attention to things that had nothing to do with what I was working on. I study Business Management at Cal State Northridge, where I built an organization from the ground up and published economic research along the way. This summer I join Goldman Sachs as an incoming analyst. Based in Los Angeles.

Principles of Living
Pay attention
Observation is a skill, not a trait. See what others merely look at.
Own your work
Take radical responsibility for everything you touch. Influence is earned by owning the outcome, not just the effort.
Be human
Kindness is the highest form of logic. Every system, product, and project is merely a proxy for a human need.
Systems thinking
Don't solve for the moment; solve for the system. Map the second-order effects before taking the first step.
