What do you do for work?
I consult on product management and strategy for tech startups. In the past, I’ve had my own startup, managed product and engineering teams at other startups, and worked in venture capital where I invested in startups. I decided to create my own consulting business to give me more flexibility with my time as I’m starting to teach yoga, which is a passion of mine.

What makes you feel most alive?
I love the feeling of traveling to a place I’ve never been to before. It makes me feel adventurous and curious.

What does adventure mean to you?
Doing anything that makes me feel uncomfortable, really. Recently I drove a scooter in Bali traffic for 3 hours from Ubud to Uluwatu. I was very hesitant (second time driving a scooter ever!) but I had a moment where I said to myself “why the hell not” and, without thinking, took to the road. That was an adventure!

Why did you join Unsettled?
I wanted to meet like-minded, curious people and explore places I’ve always wanted to go to! Living Unsettled to me means never being too comfortable with life. Finding challenges and elements, however small or large, that will always help me grow and explore.
