As co-founder of RISE Research, I've helped build a research mentorship model that pairs high school students with PhD mentors from top universities to take on original, publication-grade research. I've worked with 3000+ students from over 50 countries, including several Regeneron ISEF winners, many of whom have published in peer-reviewed journals, presented at top academic conferences and gone on to leading universities. Before this, I spent a few years in software engineering roles at Meta, Amazon and Hubspot, building consumer and growth products at scale.
