Founder and CEO of Shezza, a unique foam-padded sock that prevents painful blisters on the back of the heel from new or hard to break in shoes. My product went viral on Tik Tok and Instagram, gaining a total of 150 million views from a handful of trending videos.
Now, I have over 80,000 customers from 95+ countries and have gained over 100,000 followers across our social media channels. I’m excited and grateful to live in a world in which starting a company from scratch is entirely possible with the right tools and hard work.
Shezza was featured on Amazon Prime’s new version of Shark Tank, the “Buy It Now” show, with big celebrity judges such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Tony Hawk, the Ring doorbell founder and more. I won my episode and the $20,000 grand prize (episode 11).
Summer of 2020, I was 1 of 10 contestants featured in a documentary series called, “The Great Grass Race.” My teammate and I strategized and persevered for 3 long months, and won the entire race. The cash prize I won helped me start my business.
In my free time, I love to surf, scuba dive, travel (visited 40+ countries), ride my vespa, read self-help books and meet interesting people.
