Founder/CEO - Flora
I've been humbled to have lived in India, Belgium, Colorado, Indiana, Barcelona, and Chicago. If there's one underlying theme out of that hodgepodge of places, it's that resonating with people of all different backgrounds and cultures is now at the core of everything that I do.
I studied Operations Management, International Business, and Technology Management at the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University. When I'm not finding and presenting stories hidden within data, I'm probably following my passions. These include videography, photography, piano, entrepreneurship, creative design, and sketching.
