Co-founder of Holly. We're on a mission to bring millions of Americans into public service through software that treats them with hospitality and care. To do this, we're building the first AI-native HRIS driving performance and collaboration for governments, starting with a job design product that helps governments benchmark salaries and build better job descriptions. We're venture-backed, Brooklyn-based, and growing - we're searching for our Founding Engineer!My past experience is in business development / product / early-stage investing for mission-driven companies and investors across fintech, govtech, and workforcetech, such as Propel (where I was the 8th hire), Canary, and ResilienceVC. I have been interviewed / quoted for publications such as CNBC, Inc. Magazine, Payments Dive, and American Banker on research work (on Earned Wage Access). I started my career as a Venture for America Fellow in Cleveland. While startupland keeps me pretty busy, in my spare time I can be found roaming NYC for cheap eats, watching improv shows, attending a boxing class, or hosting dinner with friends. I'm passionate about community building and giving back. I actively mentor students / early career professionals, particularly POC / from low-income backgrounds, that are interested in social impact / grad school / startups, and am always looking to support fellow female founders / founders of color.
