Founder
I am an electrical engineer that developed a technology that can turn any screen into an interactive experience.
Most of my day recently has been consumed by trying to figure out how to run a business. There are a lot of things around building my company and dealing with a startup that have nothing to do with what I am trained in. There are many points where I have no idea what I'm doing, but you just go with it. My daily goal with my work is to make VR codes an industry standard.
There are many different kinds of glass ceilings that go beyond just your race or gender. I had to realize that there are people who don't have the privilege of struggling to achieve something and, thus, don't ever get a chance to know what they are capable of. Embrace the challenges!
Here's the first step for college students
Find a mentor that can help you on your journey and who is dedicated to helping you succeed.
"I can't run my own company."
Nothing about starting my own company relates to what I've done before or what I am trained to do. It's a whole new experience and there are times where I feel like I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm just going with the flow.
