Hi, I’m Angela!

work with me

what i do

  • build learning experiences

    I design entrepreneurship products and curriculum that has been tested with hundreds of students at Stanford and scaled globally through Leland. Learning should be practical, inspiring, and immediately applicable

  • advise founders

    I work with early-stage startups, helping them navigate the messy, exhilarating journey from idea to launch. From market sizing to business model design, I bring frameworks that cut through the ambiguity

  • shape the future of AI

    I consult organizations on the future of AI-enabled learning, from K12 to lifelong curiosity. Everyone deserves access to learning that unlocks their full potential, no matter their starting point

my journey

dive deeper

My path has taken me from boardrooms at Deloitte advising the Canadian government on AI policy, to founding Instructiv and growing it to 11,500 users across 81 countries in just three months, to Stanford where I founded the Education Entrepreneurship Hub and am now teaching the next generation of builders and innovators

Along the way, I've learned that the best solutions come from bringing together different worlds: policy and practice, research and real-world application, global perspective and local context. Growing up speaking English, Mandarin, Spanish, and French, and living across North America, Asia, Europe, and Latin America taught me early that the most innovative ideas emerge at intersections

Now, I'm combining everything I've learned to help founders, students, and institutions navigate the exciting intersection of education, technology, and entrepreneurship
