About Me
I’ve danced ballet since 2014, and I started as the only student left from my original class. Ballet taught me to keep practising when something is hard, and to treat mistakes as information. I try to bring the same habit to the violin, to business case competitions and to economics, where I’m interested in how technology and development affect communities, and who gets access to opportunity.
