Introduction
About Me
I’m nerdy / bookish / cerebral and thirst to understand everything more deeply, including myself. I’m spiritual and inquisitive, and staying connected to what I perceive as a Higher Intelligence (without any specific religious affiliation) to nourish my spirit and guide my steps regularly is an essential part of my life. I feel deeply connected to the sacredness of nature, from trees to whales to birds, and am seeking someone who feels the same. Making a positive impact on the oceans and marine life, for instance, is a part of my plan for the legacy of my life. I’m spontaneous and (maybe sometimes) a little chaotic — and would happily pack my bags to go on a last-minute trip either solo or with friends just for the experience. I love the arts & culture. Literature was my first love, TV & movies are some of my favorite icebreakers to talk about, and reveling in the creative output of others is my favorite pastime. I’m multicultural and appreciate those with a global perspective. I was born in post-Soviet Mongolia, raised in Sacramento CA and have lived mostly in Providence, San Francisco, and Los Angeles in my adult life. I’d love to spend years in living abroad in different cities & cultures and enjoy learning new languages. I spend most of my free time going down random intellectual rabbit holes, binging on podcasts at 1.8x speed (impressed by those who can do higher!), and biking or lifting at my nearest Equinox.
My Proudest Accomplishment
Being raised by a single immigrant mom in Sacramento CA and eventually getting a full ride at Brown University, which felt like a realization of all that my mom and I had worked towards since coming here. Leaving behind the career safety of Silicon Valley & Google to eventually carve my own path & build my own content platform dedicated to analyzing & spotlighting noteworthy companies, especially female-founded ones. Building a community of thoughtful and visionary founders, creators & VCs through content that aligns with my values and dreams. Cultivating more presence over the years as I’ve deepened my spiritual practice which has helped me become more loving, joyful, and inspired.

Hopes & Dreams
How do you envision spending your time when you're retired?
I envision spending lots of great time with family and friends. I envision myself continuing to learn and finding ways to share the learning I had throughout my life & career. I’d love to spend with my partner and my family and pursue interests that nourish me at that time.
Interests
My Perfect Day
Slow morning in bed + coffee, walk to the farmer’s market and pick out fresh fruits & vegetables while basking in sunshine. Spending a few hours at a nearby coffee shop or park doing some reading and then taking care of the days errands for a bit before a leisurely dinner (either home-cooked or at a nice restaurant) of pasta and red wine and great conversation.
How I spend my free time
Podcasts, reading, exploring whatever city I’m currently in, spending time with friends, walking around, working out.

Perhaps TikTok, podcasting, Vinyasa yoga (I used to teach once upon a time!), and brand strategy for consumer-facing businesses.
