“One of my proudest moments in building our business so far came during the creation of our weekly content series, specifically while filming an episode about work-life balance. The video centered on a topic deeply personal to me – the vital importance of making time for friendships despite the intense demands of being a pre-med student. I shared candid stories about my own struggles with balancing class, org, and volunteering commitments and personal relationships, including times when I nearly lost sight of what matters most.”

About the FoundHER(s)

My entrepreneurial journey wasn’t sparked by a single moment, but rather by a deep-rooted passion for connecting different worlds. Growing up, I found myself naturally drawn to diverse fields. Psychology fascinated me with its insights into human behavior, healthcare captured my attention through its potential to transform lives, technology excited me with its endless possibilities, and public speaking gave me a platform to share ideas that matter. What truly inspired me was realizing I could weave these interests together through entrepreneurship to create something meaningful and impactful.
