Her career journey spans managing a fashion tech startup in San Francisco, overseeing multiple Fortune 500 locations, mentoring, modeling, and directing spas, supported by certifications in Digital Marketing and Scrum Mastery.
Today, she has merged those experiences into entrepreneurship as a Licensed Massage Therapist and Esthetician, blending wellness, business, and culture.

By creating spaces that honor heritage while embracing progress, she promotes wellness in her community and encourage others to celebrate their culture as a living source of strength.
