What is your greatest adventure?
Either the 2 months I spent in Cape Town swimming with Great Whites & bungee jumping off the world’s highest commercial point, or the 2 months I spent exploring Southeast Asia eating scorpions and sharing one hostel bathroom with 6 other people, and no running water.

What do you enjoy most about working at DayBlink?
The overlap between Consulting, Ventures, and Foundation creates a field that no industry has ever touched before, and I am excited to be on a team building it out more and more each day.
