001: Welcome to She Starts Up!

Tech Entrepreneur. CEO. Mother. Wife.

Can you be all of these at once? The answer is yes, you absolutely can. Before we dive into the nitty-gritty business tips and motherhood hacks to get you where you want to go, here's a brief look into my story.

I began my career as a paralegal while expressing myself through photography on the side. After gaining so much knowledge and experience as a paralegal, I started my own virtual paralegal business. After using some not-so-good softwares, I came up with my own system to prepare and file cases. I knew the industry was in dire need of something more modern and efficient. So I turned down an opportunity to expand my virtual paralegal business to get to the root of the problem, the software. I didn't know the first thing about building a software, but I did know what attorneys and paralegals wanted and needed out of a software. So I created my business plan, got in contact with the right people, learned how to code, and ultimately developed my web application into what it is today. But that wasn't all. I got married, bought my first house, and had two wonderful children - and have two more on the way!

This is just a brief look into my story. Over time I will take you back to explore my journey of starting a business as a solo female founder while building my family.
