Ballet

Before all that, I danced professionally for five years. Ballet was my first love. I started at Boston Ballet but spent the majority of my career at the Royal Danish Ballet in Copenhagen, Denmark, dancing several principal roles and choreographing collaborations with other arts institutions. After reading one too many economics books between rehearsals, I opted to return to Harvard in my early twenties. You can read more about my journey in and out of school here, here, and here (I dropped out for 6 years).

Other

I speak five languages, have spent the biggest chunks of my life in New York, Copenhagen, San Francisco, London, Miami, Cambridge, and Berlin. You can fairly easily nerdsnipe me with a comment on trad futurism, evo psych, anthropocentrism in the age of AGI, or market microstructure if you find me at a tech (or art) event or DM me on X :)
