I teach entrepreneurship and leadership while mentoring student founders and building venture programs that move ideas from concept to execution.

Before academia, I co-founded and scaled a $100M enterprise. Today, I work with students, donors, and innovators to develop ventures that create real-world impact.

Curiosity is the spark. The ability to connect ideas gives it direction. The discipline to create value moves it forward. Entrepreneurial Mindset is the practice of turning insight into action.
