Other Random Stuff I’m Up to
Selected Speeches
United States Student Rep at World Internet Conference
Winter 2016 - One of 15 student reps to represent the US at with World Internet Conference in Wuzhen. It might not be obvious whether I’m singing Karaoke or challenging Chinese internet freedoms on the left, but my WeChat access has never been the same since.
United States Dept. Rep
Winter 2018 - Representing US entrepreneurs at a US State Dept. sponsored trip to Shenzhen, China. To the left is me wearing a borrowed Alpaca sweater from Chad (thanks, Chad) as was freezing at a seaside dinner trying to be ‘hip’ and ‘with it.’
Speaker at Harvard Financial Aid Gala
Spring 2016 - Gave a speech to that year’s big donors thanking them for their gifts. Another speaker was Loyd Blankfein, who left me with one of my favorite lines from undergrad. One of the biggest gifts Harvard gave him was the demystification of the world - love that line. People are people, echoing some of Job’s thoughts if you’re also a fan.
Speaker at Aurora Chain Block Chain Summit in Seoul
Spring 2018 - Flown out to speak about Block Chain in Seoul, Korea. Hilariously at first got the company name wrong, and felt that that was the right photo to include.
Education Access Speaker at Harvard Medical School
Fall 2018 - A favorite speech, talked to both students and parents about how to navigate college and financial aid applications and deadlines.
