Where is your favorite place to take your meetings?

I love a good multi task so phone calls while driving.

Who is your dream person to have a meeting with?

Rihanna. She's iconic and on track to be the richest black woman in America.

Favorite office snack?

Lately I'm obsessed with Daily Harvest smoothies in Mint Cocoa & Passionfruit and Greens

Favorite TV appearance you’ve done?

It was so inspiring to be on CNBC & Bloomberg to talk about the Bumble IPO. I so love and admire Whitney Wolfe Herd and seeing her be the youngest woman ever to IPO a company I was an advisor to was just magical.

What outfit do you feel most confident in?

Honestly, Nap Dresses. It's dressing for yourself, feeling put together and being part of the unstoppable club of #Napdressnation

What was your first job?

My first 2 jobs were on a farm picking strawberries and pulling weeds.

Where do you look for inspiration?

I look at other women I admire, fun fact - I first met Nell because I followed her instagram and slid into her DMs to ask about investing in Hill House!

What’s your favorite way to celebrate success?

With good friends and cold champagne.

Where do you want to travel next?

I'm dying to go to Morocco. It's been on my bucket list forever and now that international travel is open again, I can't wait to check it out!

How do you unwind?

My perfect unwind routine is going for a workout, calling a friend on the walk home to catch up, a long shower and then dinner with people I love.

Where do you get your news?

I read a lot of geopolitical, tech and finance news so I'm pretty glued to Axios and Apple News.

What is your idea of perfect happiness?

Laughing with people I love, ideally somewhere beautiful eating something delicious!

Tell us about the organization you chose to donate to!

I donated to Upstream.org. They're an amazing org that works to educate healthcare providers about contraception so that those providers can help women make the best and most effective birth control choice. They help millions of women take control of their reproductive choices.
