👋 Name: <@U0A44H0PZBQ> so happy to have the chance to meet everyone and join this incredible group!
📍 Location: Los Angeles, CA
💼 Current Role: Founder & CEO of Daily Few (prelaunch) — foundational hormone support for every woman who knows (or doesn't yet) her symptoms are connected. I decided to build Daily Few after my own hormonal health struggle made me realize the industry was selling underdosed formulas that treat symptoms separately when everything actually works through four interconnected metabolic systems. We're also building a community to educate women about their hormonal health and help them feel less alone in their struggles. TLDR: We're bringing clinically researched doses and complete transparency to a category that's been hiding behind proprietary blends and pretty packaging. DM me if you want early access or know women who'd be great beta testers for launch feedback.

🥭 Hobbies: Connecting people through hosting events and facilitating genuine conversations. Moving my body in ways that feel good (walking, lifting, and recently yoga). Appreciating beautiful mid-century modern open houses in Los Angeles. Cooking!

Some Topics I’m Interested in Connecting About:
• Go-to-market and brand strategy in the women's health space
• Scalable content systems + educational communities that drive loyalty
• Strategic partnerships with complementary wellness brands
• Founder-led brand building through various mediums like social and podcasting
🤝 How I Can Help WGM:
Performance marketing and paid social strategy, landing page optimization and conversion strategy, and direct feedback on messaging and positioning. Also, always happy to talk about women's hormonal health (finishing up my health cert on this) and provide guidance on ways to feel better with lifestyle changes (without needing to follow a checklist and listening to your body)

How WGM Can Help Me:
Pre-launch strategy and momentum-building tactics, TikTok shop strategy guidance, NYC/LA wellness creator/influencers + partnerships with aligned wellness and women's health brands, and community-building frameworks that balance education with commerce. Also, looking for intros to functional medicine practitioners or guidance on practitioners outreach strategies.

❤️ Extra:
If you're in LA, I'd love to meet up in person for a coffee! Excited to be part of this group.

💼 Current Role: Founder & CEO of Arrival, a women’s creatine company focused on making creatine more approachable for women. I started Arrival after my mom was diagnosed with osteopenia and I went deep into the research on what actually moves the needle for women.

Arrival is my answer to that gap: a premium, design-led, science-backed brand that makes creatine feel intuitive for women. I’m in the middle of our first fundraising chapter with early commitments in and am learning a lot from others who’ve been through this stage.
