Curiosity is my superpower.

I help founders, executives, and entrepreneurs uncover unseen opportunities before the market catches up. I turn curiosity into a business advantage, helping companies build strategies, products, and communities that don’t just compete but define new spaces entirely.

As a 2x founder and military spouse, I’ve raised over $2M, collaborated with organizations like Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Foundation and LVMH’s La Maison des Startups, and scaled inclusive communities to over 25K members.
I am the Women in AI Lead for AI2030, where I champion equitable and ethical approaches to artificial intelligence.

Curiosity is the single most underrated growth strategy in business. AI, Web3, and scaling won’t succeed without leaders who ask the right questions before rushing to answers.

Curiosity as a Service™ (CaaS) is my framework to help companies break free from predictable thinking and unlock new opportunities before their competitors do.

Through CaaS, my clients become proactive, shaping the future instead of responding to it.

They unlock entirely new revenue streams and build communities that shift industries.

They don’t ask, "What’s possible?" They ask, “What’s missing?" and then they build it.
