About
With a BS in Business, Entrepreneurship, International Business, and French from Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, I have a diverse educational background complemented by studies at NEOMA Business School and Université Laval. My career began in product and communication design for startups, leading to a pivotal role as Head of Design at Ahalogy, where I built a team and contributed to its acquisition by Quotient. At Roadtrippers, I advanced from Consultant to GM & Product, Platform, overseeing a team of engineers and AI models for the top road trip planning app. As Co-Founder & CEO of Harper, I developed an innovative app for dog owners, achieving recognition as App of the Day and securing investment from notable funds.
