I've never been good at just one thing. For a long time, I thought that was the problem.

So many people around me seemed to have it figured out — one major, one career path, one clear direction. And I did everything right: the degree, the internships, the 9-5 — but I could never shake the feeling that there was something more.

Looking back, all of my memories have never been rooted in the things I was doing — they've been rooted in the people I was doing them with. The common thread has always been community.

In 5th grade I fell in love with basketball, not because of the sport, but because of the team.

In college I started a computer science fraternity because I wanted engineering friendships to be more than just sitting next to someone in lecture.

After college, I moved to Thailand and lived at a Muay Thai gym for six months. Five hours a day, same group of people, training side by side.

None of these experiences would've been valuable without the relationships I built around them.

This became my north star: Community. Everything I do comes back to that.

Currently, I'm building that community in three ways.

1. Through reimagining what tech events can feel like by creating elevated, sexy, intentional experiences that actually reflect the people in the room.
2. Through curating a network of women in tech & startups who define themselves by so much more than just their career — their hobbies, side projects, passions, creativity, and more.
3. And through content: sharing my journey to show the next generation of women that you can be sharp and business-savvy and still be feminine, creative, and multidimensional.

If any of this resonated with you — whether you want to host together, build together, join my events, tap into the network, or even just grab coffee — reach out! Because the whole point is that none of this is meant to be done alone :)
