Magnify Wellness (Nonprofit Founder, Executive Director)

Skills: Leadership, UserTesting, Notion, Miro, Google Suite, Monday, Trello, Google Analytics, Google AdSense, JavaScript (React Native, Expo, EmailJS), SendGrid API, Firebase/Cloud Firestore, iOS Development

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.

Through that short one hour, she generously offered me guidance and expert advice from her extensive experience as the entrepenuer of an international non-profit, from navigating high school to jump-starting my cs career to launching my organization, and everything in between.
