I am genuinely passionate about tech, entrepreneurship, and health. I’m dedicated to helping founders break through early-stage challenges and adopt a business growth mindset to achieve lasting success. My approach to problem-solving is rooted in simplicity and clarity. It's about distilling complex challenges down to their essence and tackling them head-on. This mindset has been the cornerstone of my success, transforming nascent ideas into successful, market-leading products with a global reach. I am a breast cancer survivor who worked through all my treatments and four surgeries after a double mastectomy. My story is one of resilience, determination, and finding strength in the face of adversity. I believe my experience can inspire others facing challenges in various aspects of their lives, demonstrating the power of perseverance and a positive outlook.
