Experience

1. Early-stage Startup Advisor

   Empaira

   Dec 2025 — Present · Nashville, TN, US

   Selective strategic and operational advisory engagement for high-growth, values-driven organization. With therapy as my primary commitment, I offer limited strategic and operational advising informed by my clinical and leadership background and expertise. Empaira is an early-stage, AI-driven caregiving platform built for those supporting loved ones or patients with progressive neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, and MS. It continuously monitors and tracks caregiver burnout and relationship dynamics, while also capturing patient mood, health patterns, behavioral shifts, and scheduling needs.Using this insight, Empaira delivers personalized strategies that help caregivers strengthen relationships, reduce emotional fatigue, and maintain balance throughout the caregiving journey. It also simplifies medical management through appointment tracking, suggested questions, and condition-specific terminology—ensuring caregivers feel prepared and confident in every interaction.At its core, Empaira exists so caregivers can feel supported, informed, and—most importantly—seen.
