Intro to Tech

Inception to Innovation: A Lifelong Affair with Technology and Transformation

From a young age, I've always been fascinated by technology and its potential to transform the way we live and work. This interest led me to co-found Symplyfy, a SaaS platform designed to streamline tasks, events, and dashboards into a single window. It was here that I truly began to understand the power of technology in improving business operations.

At Symplyfy, I worked closely with technical and UX/UI teams, guiding the architecture, design, and user experience of our products. This hands-on experience allowed me to delve deep into the technical aspects of product development, honing my skills and fueling my passion for tech.

Transitioning from Symplyfy to Model Apps, my focus shifted to unlocking AI's potential in business solutions. My aim was to create intelligent, efficient systems that leverage AI for innovative, real-world applications. I am committed to exploring new AI technologies and integrating them into business solutions, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in tech innovation.

The insights and skills gained at Symplyfy are now crucial in my role at Model Apps. I apply my knowledge of tech development and user-centric design to develop AI solutions that are not only innovative but also practical and user-friendly.

My interest in tech goes beyond just developing products. I'm passionate about using technology to help companies and teams improve, whether it's by streamlining their workflows, enhancing their user experience, or helping them meet their business objectives. This passion drives me as I continue to explore new ways to leverage technology to make a difference.

My College Story

Embarking on the Entrepreneurial Path: Championing Women, Disrupting Norms, Inspiring Change

My journey into entrepreneurship began in college, where I was part of a group of three women in our first entrepreneurship class. We were quickly coined "The Girls," representing half the women in the University’s entrepreneurship program. We decided that our entrepreneurial venture needed to be women-focused, a customer segment we felt was deeply underserved.

We became obsessed with the way periods, and especially period cramps, had been treated throughout time. We founded The Girls Company, a venture focused on developing a more effective way to alleviate cramp pain while allowing women to easily move throughout the day.

Despite the challenges we faced as young women in a male-dominated field, we persevered, learning about finance, manufacturing processes, and business. We listened carefully to women as they tried our product, spending thousands of hours talking, testing, and adjusting the product with women. We pitched and won multiple university competitions to fund our company, including being the first all-female team to win the International Business Model Competition. 

In addition to The Girls Company, I was part of the Leadership Team for the Social Venture Academy, Entrepreneurship Association, and Women in Business Club at Brigham Young University. These experiences allowed me to further develop my leadership and entrepreneurial skills, preparing me for my future ventures.

My college story is one of passion, resilience, and a commitment to making a difference. It's a story that continues to inspire me as I work to create innovative solutions that meet the needs of women and businesses alike.
