I’m a 21 year-old previous medical student and founder living in San Francisco, building tech to fix male fertility.

My parents are diplomats, which meant we moved countries and continents every three years: I’ve grown up between idyllic Swiss mountains, the Belgian countryside, smokey Ankara, the Rift Valley of Ethiopia and the majestic jungles of Uganda.

I’ve always been deeply curious — when I was 5, my parents would have to routinely pull me away from doors, as I would regularly attempt to slam my fingers between them to observe my veins.

They got me anatomy textbooks instead, and throughout my life my evident obsession for medicine manifested itself. At 14, I cured myself of parasites I would catch when rafting in the Nile in Uganda by reading research papers; At 15, I designed the French school of Addis Ababa’s public health and COVID-19 protocol with other doctors; At 16, I cured eye infections in infants in Southern Ethiopia; at 17, I got into med school and spent years studying and working in hospitals; at 20, I moved to San Francisco and started my very first company in healthcare, building AI for African healthcare and infectious disease management; at 21, I’m building my second company, where we develop tech to fix male infertility.

I’m a jazz singer, writer and avid hiker: I’ve grown up surrounded by pure adrenaline, and the grandness of the world never escapes me. By being a founder, I replicate that vastness in my career.

I enjoy the lens of anatomy to understand human emotion and psychology, blending poetry and medicine into my worldview.
