Driven by a keen interest in global healthcare, digital innovation, and venture capital, my entrepreneurial journey led me to found a pioneering AI-driven solution for skin disease detection. Today, this venture boasts a portfolio of medical-grade products, meticulously crafted in an FDA-regulated lab, each catered to distinct skin concerns. Venturing deeper into the venture capital landscape, I embraced a fellowship that has endowed me with a wealth of knowledge spanning sectors like healthcare, energy, and consumer retail. Beyond business endeavors, I'm deeply involved in advocacy roles. I champion campaigns for underserved youth, and in another key role, I actively liaise with US Congress Members, pushing for transformative policy changes that resonate with the needs of the eczema community. Always enthusiastic about collaborations that pave the way for tangible, meaningful impacts.
