I spent seven years on Capitol Hill. Started as a scheduler, ended as Legislative Director for a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee. I helped pass three laws and worked on coordinating congressional oversight of the IRS. I was in the Capitol building on January 6, 2021. I think about that day often. How fragile democracy is, and how quickly we can decide it doesn’t matter.
Before Congress, I studied psychology at Haverford College, where I also played varsity cricket. My senior thesis examined how people with Social Anxiety Disorder can still build meaningful lives: what helps them find value, what gets in the way, and what clinical strategies might bridge the gap.
At fourteen, I was awarded a U.S. patent for an ergonomic laptop stand. It’s since been cited by major global technology companies.
Interval is my first novel. It follows a crew that boards humanity’s first intergalactic mission and wakes three million years in the future to find the universe silent.
