Healthcare: SimplePractice
(2024-Current | Owned by Vista Equity Partners)
SimplePractice is the leading practice management software for behavioral health, helping you simplify everything from admin work to clinical care.
I work on SimplePractice’s Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) team. We’re working to improve the client billing system.
Fintech: Brex
(2022-2024 | Acquired by Capital One)
Brex is the largest modern corporate card and spend management platform — loved by global and distributed teams, from startup to enterprise. We’re reimagining financial systems so every growing company can realize its full potential.
I helped build Brex Empower. It’s automated expense management software—spanning receipts, memos, email integrations, audit trails, bank connections, and more.
Fintech: Robinhood
(2020-2022 | Company went public in July 2021)
Robinhood is a brokerage platform which offers commission-free trading. Through the Robinhood app, customers can buy, sell, and trade stocks, ETFs, options, and crypto.
For roughly two years, my team & I built in-app education for first-time investors.
The Verge wrote about our work here.
During my time as a “Hoodie,” I also:
- Revamped Robinhood’s options trading education,
- Crafted crisis comms that went out to literally every customer (e.g., during the March 2020 stock market meltdown), and
- Developed a methodology & visual system for labeling higher-risk investments (e.g., leveraged ETFs).

Media: Quartz
(2018-2020 | Quartz is dead, long live Quartz)
Quartz was a business news publication. It launched in 2012, and focused on global business stories for a mobile-first audience. It was known for its Daily Brief, newsletters, and conversational app.
At Quartz, I launched the company’s first paid newsletter, Private Key, which explored the ins and outs of cryptocurrency. I taught a beginner and intermediate audience about the hacks, scams, and capers that make crypto both thrilling… and sketchy.
I also wrote critiques of Facebook’s Libra, the company’s misguided foray intro crypto. And I was the first journalist to highlight TikTok’s apparent censorship of the Hong Kong protests. (Others, like the Washington Post, followed.)
Media: ETHNews
(2017-2018)
ETHNews was a cryptocurrency trade publication that focused on the Ethereum network.
At ETHNews, I focused my coverage on cryptocurrency regulation and my reporting was closely followed by industry leaders.
Starting in 2017, I interviewed founders from the world’s biggest crypto projects, including Ethereum (Vitalik Buterin), Ripple (Brad Garlinghouse), and Zcash. I was one of the first people writing about the initial coin offering (ICO) bubble and the “Howey Test.”
Government: The SEC
(Summer 2015)
The SEC is the US stock market regulator. Its mission is “to protect investors; maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets; and facilitate capital formation.” The agency “strives to promote a market environment that is worthy of the public’s trust.”
I interned for the US Securities & Exchange Commission in 2015, and that experience shaped my interest in finance. While supporting the Office of International Affairs, I was inspired by the role that the agency plays in investor protection.
