I'm Patrick.

I grew up in Ireland but spent my entire career in France, where I founded and ran Nightline France — the country's largest youth mental health NGO, with 45 staff and 250 volunteers across the country.

I came to Stanford to study how people connect. It seemed like a lot of what was being built with AI didn't really value human connection, which is what pushed me to start this project.

I'm building an app where students can journal their thoughts and have AI turn them into shareable content that involves your friends and brings you closer to others.

I'm looking for motivated students to help me test out the project, who are enthusiastic about figuring stuff out together. I'm especially interested in people who want to leverage the experience to help improve their college applications. I'm the first in my family to finish high school and my entrepreneurship experience is what got me into Stanford — I've always enjoyed mentoring students and would love to help the right student meet their ambitions.

If this sounds interesting, I'd love to hear from you.
