    Achievements

    At Vivian, a nurse staffing business, I grew the company from start to 30m+ revenue and almost 1m nurses served.

    Previously I founded a YC-backed restaurant staffing business that we sold to a PE company.

    Along the way, I have started and grown a number of startup side businesses, including a quarantine-themed dating app that went viral and was featured in WSJ, CNN, and Good Morning America.

    My hobby is glassblowing!
