Combining a passion for fostering joy and meaningful connections with a sharp business acumen, I am the CEO of Happied, a venture dedicated to improving happiness at the place we spend 1/3 of our life: work. My journey began as an entrepreneur straight out of college, where I co-founded a successful gig economy tutoring startup in Los Angeles. Growing it to over 30 tutors with headquarters in Santa Monica, I utilized lean startup methodologies to achieve profitability, setting a strong foundation for my entrepreneurial path.Transitioning to law, I honed my skills as a corporate finance lawyer in Washington, DC. There, I quickly ascended the ranks, becoming a top lawyer on the partner track. My legal career, marked by intuitive leadership and effective communication, laid the groundwork for my next venture.In 1.5 years, I took Happied from a concept to a thriving business with $1.3M in revenue. As the sole member of the sales team, I secured marquee clients like Google, Gusto, Capital One, and Disney, demonstrating my proficiency in sales and relationship building. My decision to leave a promising legal career for Happied stemmed from a deep-seated desire to improve lives through connections that bring joy and fulfillment.As I continue to lead Happied, my focus remains on creating impactful experiences that enrich lives, while also exploring new avenues for growth and innovation. I'm always keen to connect with like-minded professionals, share insights, and explore collaborative opportunities.
