Founder and Project Manager @ Compass Higher Education CRM
About
As the Founder and Project Manager at Compass AI Academic Advising, I lead the development of an AI-powered platform designed to support students in making informed academic and career decisions. My role involves spearheading customer discovery, refining product strategy, and guiding early-stage team execution to validate scalable B2B models in collaboration with higher education institutions. I’m a UCSB Political Science graduate, where I integrated my academic background and certifications in Marketing Analytics and Technology Management into my entrepreneurial work. With a strong focus on business strategy, technology management, and entrepreneurship, I am committed to fostering innovation and delivering data-driven solutions that enhance student advising systems.
