About

Hi! I'm Aria.

I’m a sophomore at Yale studying statistics & data science and applied mathematics. I’m passionate about using data to make product decisions.

Currently, I’m a product operations intern at Instawork, where I’m building agentic workflows to grow the supply side of the hourly labor market. On the side, I’m building 21Meals, an AI powered meal planning app.

Outside of work or school, you can find me trying out new recipes, hitting my daily 10k step goal, or writing about my favorite companies.

21Meals

You have ingredients, not a plan. 21Meals takes what’s already in your kitchen and hands back something worth cooking. Built and launched solo at 16, and now being rebuilt as a consumer app with a grant from Yale’s Tsai CITY to develop it further.
