I coded and published from the ground up to the Apple/GooglePlay Store a mental health app called Magnify Wellness. The mission is to ensure everyone has the ability to find quality, affordable mental health support. My qualtiative user research stated that 54% of youth (ages 15-19) do not know where and how to locate mental health support, and 45% have felt an increased sense of loneliness during Januar-March 2020, indictive of the pandemic. I synthesized my user research to create the app, and later founded 501 (c)(3) nonprofit to expand the app's positive impact. As founder and Executive Director, I managed 12+ teams in their day to day operations, launched partnerships with other mental health orgs, secured $100k+ in funding (Top 6 world finalists Global Health Innovations from Bay Area competition), and oversaw the completion of our other community initiatives. Our global impact includes 100k+ youth reached, 4k+ app downloads, 2k+ wellness resources on our online database, and 70+ established chapter clubs with free school binders sent.

Currently, I am in the implementation and design stage of the STC's first mobile app to streamline communication of available tech and mentors to check out at the front desk on campus.
