Experience

1. Founding Team

   Upsolve

   Jun 2018 — Present · Cambridge, MA, US

   I joined the Upsolve team as an intern in 2018. That summer, I automated their 90-minute bankruptcy review process down to 3 minutes. In the process I helped nearly 100 people get the same bankruptcy fresh start that I had gotten. I was hooked, so I joined the founding team full time in early 2019 and have never looked back. In the years since, I have helped to grow Upsolve\'s site traffic to annual visitors while developing tools that have helped people find freedom from of debt. I’ve made it my life’s work to continue to scale this impact until everyone has the opportunity to resolve their debt and find financial freedom like I did.Upsolve is now the largest and most impactful bankruptcy nonprofit in America. Over the next three years, we are also going to become the largest bankruptcy prevention nonprofit. We’re doing that by building a suite of tools for debt relief and credit repair that will help low-income families resolve their debt early and thereby avoid the bank account seizure, wage garnishment, and credit impairment that often leads to bankruptcy. These tools are needed by a significant portion of our members and 3 million annual site visitors consuming our financial literacy content. We\'re also embedding our tools into community-based nonprofits to amplify our reach and help us serve more low-income families in need.
