As a business adviser, I get equipment and life altering technology into the hands of the people who need it most through access to capital, strategic planning/advising, and optimization of manufacturing and distribution processes.
As a speaker, I advocate for health equity for women, and the changing effectiveness of philanthropy and how it can be more effective to help those around the world.
As the CEO and founder of HERHealthEQ, it means providing medical equipment to women around the world, creating Health Equity.
This is my life’s passion and I’m on a mission to create the access and availability needed for people everywhere to experience Health Equity.
