When girls and women find their voices, they can create meaningful change in every space they step into. Passionate about empowering women in business and leadership, I founded BizEmpress.com, a platform that amplifies women’s voices across all areas of business. Through interviews, articles, and podcasts, BizEmpress connects with inspiring leaders to share real-world advice on confidence, leadership, and growth.

​

As a representative on the Westchester Youth Congress, I lead the Women in Business Project, and I’m the Founder and CEO of LocalLabelz, a youth-led clothing brand and movement that empowers girls to build confidence and leadership through entrepreneurship. Partnering with young women across different communities, I help each team create and grow their own branch of LocalLabelz, gaining real-world business experience while celebrating individuality and local pride. I was selected for the Bella Abzug Leadership Institute’s Journey to Leadership Program, an honor recognizing young women who demonstrate exceptional potential to lead with integrity and purpose.

 

In an effort to uplift others, I am organizing and hosting a TEDxYouth event in my community to showcase the creativity and ideas of talented Westchester students. From curating speakers to managing production, I’m aiming to create a platform for youth to inspire one another and share their stories with the world.

 

My entrepreneurial curiosity has been inspired by many female founders who I have had the honor to support in their own ventures. I have beta-tested products for the college-planning startup GoalsEye, contributed market research for Dr. Amy Wechsler and Zoe Wechsler’s new dermatology venture Spotless, and worked summers at The Beach Hut, gaining firsthand experience in teamwork, customer service, and small business operations.

 

At my school, I serve as Secretary of DECA and have represented my school at the State-level in the Entrepreneurship category. I was selected through a competitive process to serve as a Peer Mentor Advisor, guiding underclassmen, and help welcome new students as an Orientation Leader and Speaker.

 

My love for the arts led me to become Co-founder and President of the Edgemont Drama Club, which has grown to over 40 active members and raised more than $7,000 to support our activities. I have performed on stage and worked behind the scenes while fostering a space where students can collaborate and express themselves. As a two-time Gold Medalist in the National French Competition, Scholastic Art & Writing Poetry Award Recipient, and Westchester County Young Author’s Conference Nominee, I continue to explore storytelling across languages and mediums.

 

Outside of school, I love to ride with the Zephyr Farm IEA Varsity Team or volunteer with CTREE Therapeutic Riding, helping children and adults with disabilities experience the joy of horseback riding. My other passions include surfing, baking, and live music. Above all, I hope to continue using my voice and help others use theirs to lead with compassion, creativity, and courage.
