Full-time designer, part-time entrepreneur

My creative pursuits extend far beyond the classroom

In August 2024, I founded Pyroscotic Technologies.

My tech company is dedicated to shaping the future through pioneering innovations – from advanced AI models to tangible products – designed to combat the world’s most pressing challenges.

One of my companies, SipSafe+, once began as a Communications Design project and has quickly pivoted into being one of the fastest growing startups at Syracuse University. SipSafe+ provides a collection of drinkware inserts that detect spiked beverages through emitting a fluorescent glow when detected.

Since then, my startup has competed in globally-recognized competitions across the world.

In March 2025, I represented Syracuse University in the annual Hult Prize Nationals Competition in Boston. This prestigious competition attracts over 15,000 applicants worldwide, and I was one of the 60 teams selected to move forward.

Since then, I have gone from a 1-person team to leading a group of 6 highly-talented individuals in the fields of Chemistry, Product Development, Marketing, Operations, and Law.

In the past few months, I’ve transformed what started as an idea into a fully developed venture, successfully raising over $1,400

So, what’s next?

I was honored to be selected as one of 30 female founders nationwide to join the 2025 Harvard University Female Founders Circle Summit — an organization that celebrates emerging female CEOs driving meaningful change.

Additionally, I’m a Perplexity AI Business Fellow, where I’ll continue to receive mentorship from some of the world’s most successful tech founders, including leaders from NVIDIA, Box, Bloomberg Beta, and more. As I pursue my Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Cambridge, I remain committed to growing my venture and making an impact.
