At the onset of pandemic, I cofounded ATX KIT, a direct-to-consumer snacks company that supported over 50 local food entrepreneurs. We were acknowledged with a “50 On Fire” award from Austin Inno. Simultaneously, I also created Founder House Austin, an entrepreneur co-living experience hosted inside luxury hotels in downtown Austin.

In 2020, I also helped launch startup concepts via weekend hackthons via my On Deck fellowship in 2020 (ODF6) and helped win 3 different “Best Startup Concept” awards.

In 2017 I created a coworking concept called Switch Cowork, where we turned under-utilized restaurants and well-designed bars into “underground networks” of workspaces during the day. For this company, I was selected to join and received a grant for a UBS / Rent the Runway intensive program in NYC. The first startup I launched was in 2015, a young professionals’ networking app called The Dime Club.
