Education shaped my path, and it’s a privilege to pay it forward. Recently, I was nominated to join the EDU DAO Special Council as one of its Council Members. Here’s why I’m doing this 🧵 Over the past year, I’ve worked closely with @opencampus_xyz through @caladanxyz - Supporting DEX liquidity on EDU Chain - Facilitating access to lenders and users - Watching an idea become an ecosystem The mission to shift value toward educators and learners is personal. Now it’s time to help scale it. At @GoldmanSachs, I worked on student loan financing. I’ve seen the power and pitfalls of education financing up close. Capital must be responsibly structured to deliver real-world outcomes. At Caladan, we’re hands-on with DAOs and DeFi protocols. We help builders think like allocators. @educhain_xyz is one of the most mission-aligned ecosystems I’ve encountered. As a Council Member, I’ll focus on: - Attracting and deploying capital with transparency - Scaling sustainable student loan products - Aligning token holders, builders, and beneficiaries over the long term My goals: - Help bring in both DeFi-native and traditional capital - Evaluate proposals through a rigorous investment lens - Strengthen EDU token utility - Ensure clear reporting, impact tracking, and principled governance I care deeply about mission > hype. Integrity and transparency aren’t optional, they’re foundational. Let’s build a new financial backbone for education. Excited to contribute 🔥📚
