Heroes of COVID
Heroes of COVID is my national initiative that provided 2500+ meals to overburdened frontline healthcare workers across 21 states in 56 hospitals, while supporting small local restaurants affected by the coronavirus. Heroes of COVID also provided a platform for frontline workers to share their stories and messages of strength with an international community.
Entrepreneurship Podcast Series
I have started an Entrepreneurship Podcast series where I chat with successful entrepreneurs - from fashion designers to entrepreneurship professors, to Shark Tank winning restaurant owners! My goal is to inspire young people to act on their amazing ideas.
FinanceSmartz
To complement my entrepreneurship podcast series, FinanceSmartz is my website to support financial literacy in young people around the world by helping them understand complex topics related to personal finance, entrepreneurship, and economics.
AllergySmartz & FoodAllergyLowdown
AllergySmartz is an iOS and Android app I co-developed to help those with special dietary needs communicate the precautions needed for safe food preparation to restaurant staff in foreign countries, across language barriers. AllergySmartz currently covers the Top 13 Allergens in 20 languages. I simultaneously co-founded FoodAllergyLowdown, a blog to share experiences, products, and advocacy-related advice for those with food allergies.
