As a power-wheelchair bound, mixed Native American Indian(afro-indigenous) person, my life experiences have granted me a unique perspective that has allowed me to serve my community and positivly impact the world in ways I would have never expected. When I was 16, as a result of my academic career and extenuating circumstance, the University of Washingtonn granted me early admittance to study Computer Science and Mathematics. As a UW Sophmore I founded Cura AI, which shortly thereafter won as the best healthcare startup at the UW Dempsey Startup Competition. We were the youngest team in the competition with an average age under 20 between four founders. Beating out over 50 graduate students and several PhDs to win the best health innovation award granted by Cambia Grove. When I was in my junior year at UW I founded Qilo(pronounced /ˈkēlō/), during which I raised $250,000 over the combined Seed and Series A rounds of funding. From there I secured office space in South Lake Union, and embarked on my journey of attaining product market fit. I took a four year break from everything to spend time adapting to being a power-wheelchair bound person and focusing on my health. Now, I'm back at University of Washington to complete my Bachelor of Science in Atmospheric Science: Data Science, Computer Science.
