Milestones
My road in life has taken me all over.
I come from a family of entrepreneurs.
Growing up, my parents owned a marketing agency and production studio, where I taught myself skills like graphic design and coding.
Computer science wasn’t really encouraged in school and I didn’t see myself fitting in with that crowd, so I pursued a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing degree instead.
After graduating from college, I jumped into corporate America and worked various jobs in marketing and finance.
When the “Silicon Alley” movement happened in New York, I was able to get back into tech and take classes with people who actually looked like me.
I got into teaching but realized that it was difficult to teach STEM subjects to adults—I decided I wanted to help introduce these subjects to young children instead.
My mom and I worked together to create the Paige & Paxton STEM System, which brings STEM curriculum to elementary schools and homes.
While working on Paige & Paxton, I met my husband—together we founded Blue Studios.io to broadcast STEM education, reaching a larger audience and giving STEM education access to more children.

Day to Day
Each day is very different. I spend a lot of time coding and making sure everything is working properly on the backend of our platform. My husband will typically handle production and then once the content is produced, I handle the marketing and distribution. I also handle a lot of the behind-the-scenes business, including hiring, juggling resources, and planning. I also spend time networking, fundraising, and speaking with investors.

The Noise I Shed
From Myself:
"Am I really that technical? Am I good enough to be in this space?"
