Everything is negotiable
I've raised over $2M in venture capital-- making me one of the few women in the US to do so.
When my grandmother was battling breast cancer, I recognized the challenge of finding well-fitting post-mastectomy prosthetics that matched her skin tone. Nothing made her feel comfortable. She passed away while I was in my sophomore year of college. She never found the perfect fit. Inspired by that experience, I founded Cherry Blossom Intimates and Myya, offering completely customizable, fully insurance billable, breast prosthetics with a state of the art fit experience. I believe in using ones passions and unique perspectives to solve the world's greatest problems.
I serve as a mentor for The North and Girls Who Start. I have been featured in Forbes, Yahoo!, Washington Business Journal, Coveteur, Business Insider, District Fray, Washingtonian Magazine, Fast Company and countless other publications.
