Bio

I am a passionate leader vested in mentoring students for their academic and personal success. I recently graduated with a Ph.D. in chemistry, where I had the opportunity to teach undergraduate students and help new lab members become acquainted with our processes. Developing strong bonds with academia has allowed us to incorporate our venture, and we are confident that continuing to nurture these partnerships will fast-track our success. Our mission is to create the next generation of wearable technologies that can be seamlessly integrated into the human body. Our first product is ePolish, press-on nails that can be customized from any smartphone for immediate self-expression.
