What motivates me is resilience and possibility. I stepped into leadership at 27, and since then I’ve had both incredible opportunities and every imaginable obstacles placed in my path. I’ve not only survived… I’ve thrived, in spite of myself and in spite of what life has thrown at me. With an Ivy League education, a military background, and over 20 years of experience, I’ve built a business while raising a family in New York City. An author, seasoned speaker, and PhD candidate at Columbia in Organizational and Institutional Psychology. As a survivor of domestic violence in an advocate for other women who have endured the same, I refuse to let challenges define me; instead, I use them as fuel to go further.

It’s not a traditional, cookie-cutter or one-size-fits-all approach that other programs seem to be replicating. The Gotham Accelerator and Incubator programs will give founders the real tools, resources, and support they need to succeed and to feel less alone in the process.
