My occupation is Education Foundation Founder.
My qualifications are:
Public school math shaped my family.
My mom grew up in poverty, but a love of math landed her a bank job, and a way out.
My dad was raised by a single mother battling mental illness. But his talent at math led him to open a small CPA business.
As a math-y public school kid, I learned to code. I loved staying up late writing computer games to share with friends. After studying Computer Science at Stanford, I started a company in a storage closet writing algorithms to match people to jobs. LinkedIn bought the company and asked me to lead their core business. I was suddenly a math kid leading an organization of thousands, with a multi-billion dollar budget.
Having kids changed everything. In 2019, I started an education foundation. Now, I want to use my experience to help kids in our schools.
I’m endorsed by our teachers union and leaders across the political spectrum because they know I can fight our schools’ financial crisis.
